I got parking citations issued to both of my vehicles last night while they were parked directly outside my apartment on Thomas Avenue, an address to which both vehicles are registered.
These tickets were issued as part of what appears to be a new residential parking permit program. However, I find this policy to be both unjust and poorly implemented. These are public streets, maintained by taxpayer dollars, and residents should not be required to purchase a permit to park in front of their own homes. Many of us on Thomas Avenue are working-class individuals who already face significant financial pressures. Imposing unnecessary fees for parking on streets that are neither overcrowded nor in high demand only exacerbates the economic challenges in one of the least affluent areas of Brisbane.
What is especially troubling is the lack of transparency and communication around this program. I was never informed about the police would start ticketing, and judging by the number of cars ticketed, it seems many others were also unaware. If community input was ever gathered, it clearly did not include the voices of those most affected.
Meanwhile, long-abandoned vehicles sit in the nearby field, untouched and unregulated for years. If the intent of this policy is to improve parking access or manage congestion, this approach misses the mark entirely. Street parking on Thomas Avenue has never been an issue. The real problems lie elsewhere and remain unaddressed.
I urge the city to immediately review this policy and reconsider its application, especially on streets like Thomas Avenue where it serves no practical benefit and only penalizes law-abiding, tax-paying residents. We should not be required to pay to use the public streets in our own neighborhoods. I love Brisbane as a town but the city needs to do better. 4 2025/05/13 11:40:51 AM MDT No No No
5 2025/05/13 1:40:40 PM MDT No No No Public streets, maintained by taxpayer dollars, should be available to the public and not become a burden to residents. 6 2025/05/13 2:13:46 PM MDT No No No
I was never in favor of this program. The issue on our block was never about cars legally parked on the streets but rather the cars illegally dumped and rotting in the open vacant lot at the top of the hill. I was cited today for not having a permit. The program was originally pitched to us that all residents of the block would get one free permit. When it launched, suddenly no free permits? I didn't vote for this, in fact, I decidedly voted against it. Poorly launched and feels like a money grab on the only block in town that is lower priced apartments.

Please STOP imposing financial strain on our community and find another way to solve our parking issues. Perhaps you can shift your focus and find your extra money by improving the safety issues from the people who continue to blow thru our Stop Signs as if they don't exist.

We do not have a parking problem on Thomas Avenue, If you want to continue with this permit parking, then it should be free to the residence of Brisbane. It's pretty ridiculous that we have to pay to park in front of our residence. My son stays with me a few days a week and you guys denied him to purchase a parking permit so this makes no sense. 71 Thomas Ave.. #11 17 2025/05/23 4:55:11 PM MDT Yes No No This has not help and I feel like I just wasted my money 18 2025/05/23 10:11:21 PM MDT Yes No No
You can get parking during the day but if you have a job that brings you home after dark there is none. Most people on this street don't understand why residents need to pay while others don't. Most of us are in fixed incomes or assisted living or retired and on low fixed income that such extra costs cut into utilities, rent, food, insurance expenses. 19 2025/05/28 1:29:15 PM MDT Yes Yes Yes
