Why it Matters
Support for Local Small Business
Downtown is the backbone of our local economy. When parking is free and easy, visitors are more likely to pop into a boutique, grab a coffee at a local roaster, or browse a gallery without the "ticking clock" stress of a paid meter.
Accessibility for All Residents
Our downtown should be a place for everyone, not just those who can afford extra fees. Keeping on-street parking free ensures that a quick trip to Old Town Square remains accessible for families, students, and seniors on a budget.
Maintaining the "Old Town" Charm
What makes Fort Collins unique is its welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. Replacing friendly "2-Hour" signs with kiosks and payment apps changes the character of our streets from "guest-friendly" to "transactional.
