The Republic of Parking
Republic Parking System, the company that runs Lincoln’s public parking garages, is taking over parking enforcement Downtown this week. I’m very eager to see how Lincolnites take to the new enforcers. They are required to not resemble police and—get this—to ”be polite and courteous to all citizens”. I’m all in favor of civility, I just find it amusing that “be nice” is part of the contract. That should be a part of the contract of anybody who deals with the public.
Meanwhile, LPD Chief Tom Casady is off the hook and no longer has to handle parking issues Downtown. I’m sure he’ll continue to receive calls, emails, and letters about it, however. From now on he can just smile and forward those issues over to David Landis in Urban Development.
