PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THURSDAY AUG. 11, 2016) — THE PLANET and Beacon Cinema owner Richard Stanley agree: It’s an incredibly dumb idea to charge for parking in downtown Pittsfield. Stanely has strongly opposed to the idea, although official Pittsfield seems hell bent for leather to implement a consultant’s expensive advice to force people to pay for the “privilege” of taking life and limb in hand by venturing into to center city.

Where does THE PLANET or any sane, non-political entity begin to address to folly of this plan?

CONSULTANTS — Let’s begin with the consultants. The city has been screwing up parking for 50 years, but the problem is easily solved. There are enough parking spaces. Having ample spots for vehicles has never been a problem and is even less so now with a decreasing population and a declining downtown.

All things being equal (which they never are in Shire City), a city of Pittsfield’s size should have the in-house talent to develop a rational and balanced parking scheme for downtown. By farming this “problem” out to a consultant, the city wastes more money. It does this either because the conundrum is beyond the in-house talent or doing so defers responsibility for a decision — or both. The first reveals a staggering ineptness in Downtown Pittsfield Inc. (DPI), the Office of Community Development (strangely silent and invisible in this parking debate), and all of the city’s planning offices and functions. The second exposes the political cowardice that has been running this city into the ground.

DPI president Jesse Cook-Durbin said “there were a lot of logistical” challenges in dealing with parking. Cook-Durbin’s statement stands as a shameful, back-door admission that Pittsfield has no confidence in its ability to handle this situation in-house.

ACCEPTANCE — Durbin worked hard to paint a false picture and spin a fictive yarn about how wild downtown shop owners are about pay-for-parking. “For the most part, the downtown business community has been supportive.” Nonetheless, when The “New” Boring Broadsheet sent our Right Honorable Good Friend and Colleague Jim Therrien to do a story, he could only find one business owner who would express tepid acceptance of the parking scheme. That was Steven Valenti of Valenti Clothing for Men. “Should we give this a chance? Probably,” Valenti told Therrien — hardly a ringing endorsement.

Stanley, on the other hand, was adamant in his opposition: “Anybody who would think charding for parking would encourage people to come downtown, I think that person is reading from a book upside down.” THE PLANET agrees. We also polled seven downtown business owners, all well known, and all were opposed. The merchants don’t want this because it will kill business. Motorists don’t want to pay a “tax” to park their vehicles. Visitors certainly don’t want this. So what does Pittsfield do when the “shareholders” and citizens don’t want something? Naturally, they implement it.

FEES VS. FREE — In a facile attempt to justify imposing a fee for downtown parking (city would charge more for the best spaces, less for those far-away spots), Cook-Dubin told Therrien “that not enough money was being generated to maintain the city’s parking garages and lots and cover other parking-related expenses” [ED. NOTE: Therrien’s words, not Cook-Dubin’s]. The answer isn’t to charge for parking. THe city now gives nearly 75% of every city dollar to the Pittsfield School Department (PSD) for ever-declining performance. The spineless politicians the teachers’ union has in its pockets had no other choice but to bleed dry the city-side operating budget. This includes maintenance of the parking garages and lots.

The best resolution of Pittsfield’s parking problem is a three-pronged approach:

1. Reel in the PSD budget and pour the savings into tax relief. This puts more of their own money back into people’s pockets.

2. Make every parking space in Pittsfield free, for everyone, at all times. This will make the now-dreadful task of having to venture downtown a little less painful. It will generate more traffic downtown and more business for shop owners. That in turn will feed the municipal coffers.
3. Fire the parking-enforcement Nazis. With all-free parking, we wouldn’t need these self-important slugs who measure their effectiveness by how much aggravation and grief they can inflict on drivers.

Pittsfield has already placed an order for kiosk metering, well before this got to the council for approval. Done Deal, anyone? Once again, citizens had no say.

Parking in downtown Pittsfield is such a headache. Now if its Northhampton do you charge? Heck yeah. There’s a large demand to park and only those that pay get the privilege and the city gets revenue. Economic efficiency.

Now Pittsfield there is a low demand to travel to downtown and less of a demand if you have to pay to park. Trust me how many times I said I’d head downtown but I don’t want to deal with parking and I don’t want a ticket.

Free Parking and less of a headache = Extra Incentive to travel downtown. Incentive to travel means their will be consumption hence money will be spent downtown. That creates a multiplier effect and the multiplier effect from the consumption is much higher than those damn parking fees.

Now do I get $15,000 for this assessment.

Perhaps any revenue from the parking meters can go to support Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. so that the City no longer has to support that do nothing organization. I’m sure the merchants that are not members of Downtown Pittsfield Inc. won’t mind.

Several years ago, in the face of all common sense, the city over rode existing parking regulations and gave special permits for certain business and condo owners on North street. What did they think was going to happen when they created a demand that exceeded capacity?

Many of Pittsfield problems can be directly tied to favors granted to special interest groups.

It is very unfortunate to see that some people are not interested in taking advantage of what Pittsfield, and the rest of the Berkshires has to offer. If you took a moment to look past all of the negativity that Dan highlights from here on a weekly basis; Pittsfield and the Berkshires are not that bad of a place to call home.

This past Monday night I saw an unbelievable and FREE concert on the Pittsfield Common, part of the Shire City Sessions. Kathy Lloyd kicked things off as the MC and Eli “Paperboy” Reed was amazing! The couple hundred people at the show would probably agree with me on this one. Wandering Star, Balderdash Cellars and and a great food truck supplied all of the food and beverages and there were so many kids taking advantage of the recently renovated playground and basketball courts, it brought a smile to my face. The last Shire City Sessions free concert is this coming up Monday night (8/15), with Kat Wright and the Indomitable Soul Band. Instead of complaining, come out and see what is really happening in Pittsfield. You might surprise yourself and actually have fun in downtown Pittsfield.

Last Friday, I volunteered at Barrington Stage Company, helped hand out programs and got to watch “Pirates of Penzance” as a thank you for volunteering. This show is as good as any production that you would see on Broadway in New York City, except you can expect to pay double for a ticket on Broadway.

Tonight is opening night of Berkshire Theater Group’s “Beauty and the Beast” community theater production and I cannot wait to see it. They have been rehearsing for this show since the beginning of June and their one week run is today through next Friday. I’m checking that after going to District for some drinks and food before the show.

So, if you choose not to embrace all of what is great in Pittsfield and the Berkshires, then please continue to complain here on-line.

Peace out!

Let me address a few things since I was on the council when this was decided.

There were many public meetings regarding this issue. They were well attended and advertised. All the downtown merchants were aware of what was going on and had a say in the process. If they didn’t show up to the meetings, shame on them. It’s like an election, don’t bitch about who gets elected if you didn’t vote.

The kiosks were not ordered about a year AFTER the council approved the borrowing for the project, not before.

Once again, the state had their hand in this. The city was told no more help from the state for parking garages until you charge for parking. The state gave the city around seven million to fix the McKay Street garage. They don’t want to keep doing that and I don’t blame them.

We are one of the only cities in the commonwealth that doesn’t charge for parking. Have you been to Springfield, Northampton, Worcester, Holoyke?

Nobody likes to pay for parking, I get that. But there was a reason for this and it was an open public process. The time to complain was at the public meetings, not after the fact. If you attended one or more of those meetings and voiced your opposition, complain away, you have the right.

The city charter was written to exclude taxpayers. It’s a shame that it was passed with the taxpayers not noticing what’s in it. A good example is the THS project. This was named down our throats by a commission with a heavy influence of out of Pittsfield people and Good Ole Pittsfield boys and girls. At least one guy trier to do something about it but it seems that the courts are rigged too.

I still like the idea of completely FREE parking. Barry weve done the FEE parking before and it obviously has not worked because for the umpteenth time Pittsfield is trying to “fix” parking (the endless story). One thing the city has never tried is what DV recommends,totally free parking. Do it for two years. Fix parking decks by addressing imbalance between school side and city side budget allocations (75-25 is sending the city into ruin).

HALF A MILLION???? For parking kiosks. No way citizens would approve this. Yeah they don’t attend meeetings or vote because they’ve been brainawshed and hammered down to nothing.
Perfect system: Beat the electorate to death then when they don’t vote say “See you had the chance to vote but didn’t so you don’t have a say”…let me remind everyone that in our system of “rep” democracy as Shakes loves to lecture us about even those who don’t vote or participate are represented.

I understand the basic economics of the situation. Parking is a scarce resource. In fact, many spaces are occupied – and the parking Nazis – much as I hate them are there to mostly move along employees of downtown businesses who fail to buy the permits allowing them to park all day in a lot or garage.

But with that charge, I expect a few things in return:

I’ve been trying to nail this mouse and the rodent never sets the trap off and licks the food clean? So, I got a little crafty and spread a little peanut butter on a tissue and laid it on the inside of the trap figuring it would have to manuever a little more and have to set it off or no food. Well, in the morning,I went to check the trap and the tissue as well as the trap is gone, yes,disappeared..I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find the damn thing….any suggestions?

But with that charge, I expect a few things in return:

1. A robust selection of businesses located in downtown to draw my business. Now the City is only marginally responsible for this and can only help by making downtown safe, convenient, etc.

2. As alluded to above, I expect a well lit, well patrolled, and well maintained downtown. I do not want to be harassed by pan handlers or kids on skateboards or bikes forcing me off the sidewalk.

3. In the winter, I expect snow cleared from the banks after every storm. Storm basins shoveled out so water will drain from the curbs, and well cleared and treated sidewalks.

4. I expect parking garages that are also safe, clean, well lit, patrolled, free from graffiti, drug activity and prostitution activity. I expect the garage stairwells and elevators that don’t smell like urine.

If I could get that, I might not be happy – but I would see where my money went. Until I get that, I don’t see myself finding a spot, fighting wind and treacherous walking in the winter to go to a kiosk wander back to my car, then go to my destination during the nearly six months of winter. And if I don’t need to go during those six months, it’s easy to avoid during the rest of the year too I suppose.

I guess once the City doies its

I once got a parking ticket. I remember paying it and saying “I will NEVER shop North street again”.
I kept my word. I never shopped North street again and its been many years.

Walmart, the mall……. so many other places to shop where there is free parking. Charging for parking is punative to the customers and businesses. Its really stupid.

Allowing people to park for free on North street would be hugh boon to the businesses there. However, the city does not care about business or its customers as they shake down the people for their pocket change and enforce it with Nazis SS officers.

SHH, a lot of our resources are directed towards downtown. For some reason, it is a neighborhood with a favored status.

A vibrant downtown makes a city a better place to live, so I guess some of the spending is worthwhile – if after we spend the money, results are apparent. We have been “investing” in downtown for years, and we are not in solid agreement the money has helped.

But Spa is a local taxpayer – and the fact that she does not frequent downtown does not mean she wouldn’t like to, or that it’s health has no impact on her property values or tax bills.

And as far as living where there is snow – I am used to it. I have plowed it for 38 years and am lucky to be healthy. But, if you have passengers, the snowbanks are incredibly inconvenient and unsafe to climb over. Many cities remove the snow from their downtowns in order to make them more pedestrian friendly.

A lot of this discussion, if broken out into a few issues seems to center around the fact that for all we spend, downtown Pittsfield is still not an accommodating place to go and spend your time and money. And telling me a space is premium because maybe it is near a business I want to visit when I have already “invested” a small fortune and am unsure the results have been worth it is a bit presumptuous.

I’m not sure the net revenue collected will exceed the business driven away if downtown doesn’t have the natural draw the folks pushing for this seem to believe exists. If I’m wrong, I’ll be thrilled.

If there was not a parking problem in downtown, the discussion would not be here. Investing in a parking management system is smart. It cuts down labor costs. It generates revenue and reduces cash management difficulties. If you have free parking, I’ll be parking on north in front of my office and you can hoof it from wherever you have to come from. Plenty of money is spent on parks, schools, police, roads, and public works that are not downtown. Yes the city does try to remove snow from downtown, but at $20k a pop, it can’t do that constantly.

And if I haven’t said it explicitly enough, if you reside in Pittsfield you are paying taxes to Pittsfield. There is no special status for owners. This is not a feudal system. There are no slaves and servants. Defending the taxpayers means ensuring equal treatment.

Curious if anyone has been to Hudson and checked out Warren Street?

Case Study… complete transformation over the last 5-10+ years. Narrow, pedestrian friendly, countless shops, restaurants, parking etc. and man, people are out and about supporting the local businesses.

Now, understood the demo may be a bit different and perhaps everything is not perfect, but I’ll tell you, the local merchants, city government etc. obviously put an emphasis on “downtown” and IMPO, nailed it.

Let me review here. The taxpayers are on the hook for a half million dollars for sophisticated parking meters that will take years to pay for themselves. In the meantime they will depreciate and won’t we also need to hire someone to maintain them and their software? Will this be a new position? And if so will it be given to a connected son or daughter?
