I noticed on Friday that PDOT had finally installed parking signs and meters along Bond Ave. in the South Waterfront. Most importantly, unlike Moody Ave., these metered spots are between 2 and 3 hrs:
I’ve been living and working in the South Waterfront for around 6 months now and every morning this stretch of Bond is packed with cars. I know it’s not construction workers, they have a lot, a big one. I know it’s not the retailers of South Waterfront - they are the ones who have been so supportive of abolishing the 11 hr parking in the neighborhood. Basically, all those OHSU employees have to find somewhere else to park now. Although I can’t blame them, I probably would have done the same thing in their shoes. This is a great thing for the neighborhood, now our guests won’t have to search for hours to find parking and more people can come frequent the retail shops, like Le Hana and the new Bambuza Vietnam Bistro opening next week, without getting too frustrated.
Now the city just needs to change the 11 hr parking on Moody and we’ll be all set.
