The Coronado Historical Association has joined the current rage on imposing paid parking throughout town (Vons, Walgreens, Ferry Landing, Union Bank, etc). Plans are well advanced at CHA to begin to charge for parking. “We don’t really have a parking lot,” said Executive Director Bruce Linder, “but, heck, everyone else in town is charging outrageous levels for parking so we want to do the same thing. We didn’t want to miss out.”
To accomplish the goal of establishing “Public Parking” but then charging up to $10 to park, CHA reached out to the only currently available free parking they could find, which happened to be a bicycle stand near the Museum. In a flash they installed a sign, and contracted with a “parking administrator”, named Lirpa Sloof, to vigorously patrol the lot.
“We’ll be the only paid bicycle parking in town,” said one CHA employee. “I’m sure it will catch on; bicycle owners shouldn’t get a free ride, they should be forced to pay for what used to be free Coronado parking like everyone else!”
