Sylvia, interesting suggestion. My understanding is that the sidestreets are designed to be residential and the commercial State street is intended for business customers. While I understand that residents have grown accustomed to free parking I'm not sure I agree that they are entitled to it. I own a residential unit on State Street and do not feel that I should get parking. Would the free residential parking be in purpituity or for a small amount of time like 1 hour similar to a meter limit?

GM Ben,most residents are affilated with yale those who r not generaly work during most business hours and move their cars. My property located between Bradlee & Eld St is a free parking zone for the atorneys at the cout house my businses owners confront these people to express their business suffer due to them parking all day for free.

There r 12 residental units that been here since 1900 so they r granfatered in for parking as i believe you may have that in you zone. Many of the university, hospital fellows have mixed schedules 12 am to 12 pm when 2 hr the parking is in effect. So I do believe a residentsl sticker is welcome as they r on side strees. I recommend my tenants get the sticker the problem there r no spaces since more people duble up in smll apartments. We should inforce the 2 hr parking as I have to remover the free loaders and abandoned cars.

Have a good day

Seems like the striping was the final answer and meters will not be coming to Upper State.
