Bozeman High parking permit district

A former Parking Commission member who helped create the district says it worked — streets are empty — and urges eliminating it south of Main Street, noting displaced parking squeezes residents and workers there.

A landlord whose tenants only bought permits after enforcement ramped up supports downsizing the district to the two streets next to the high school.

A 30-year neighborhood resident and engineer argues the school's east portal at 11th and Villard sits near zero student parking stalls while the neighborhood holds 350, so students will park on neighborhood streets — he urges keeping the district.

A Midtown Neighborhood Association member recommends keeping the tool in place until a better parking benefit zone alternative is established, and asks the city to share full cost data with permit holders given upcoming zero-parking infill development.
