Do you like Chattanooga’s stricter parking enforcement?

You would think that Chattanooga would have learned from Red Bank. You add a tax (that is what these fines are) and people will shop with their feet.

– Tom Adams

[The city should] focus less on making a buck at the expense of an area of Chattanooga that relies heavily on tourism. Enough unwarranted parking citations to out of town visitors WILL result in a negative reputation that will negate the benefits store owners thought they would see by encouraging better turnover.

Fee grabbing = Running the tourist away. You’re shooting yourself in the foot by being greedy.
