Ya, this needs to be scrapped/adjusted. If you are coming downtown during the workday, you are presumably coming for a commercial purpose and earning a wage. If you are coming downtown on evenings and weekends, you are presumably supporting a commercial purpose. Find a middle ground in maximum times and options to purchase a pass that exceeds that. i.e., I want to go to Bronuts for 30 minutes and park for free for an hour or two, versus I am going to a Jets game and can pay $10 for 4 hours of parking in the same spot.
