What are your thoughts on the changes? 

Are any of these changes really that significant? Not particularly.

We can appreciate that Sunday's will remain free to park at metered spots in downtown Boise.

We can also appreciate that on Saturday's, meters and patrols will start a bit later--often times, after a 'fun' night out in downtown Boise on a Friday, cars will be left overnight--which is the RIGHT thing to do.

In a statement published by the City of Boise, Tyler Johnson, the Code and Community Resources Senior Manager for Parking Services said:

We are promoting a better utilization of our limited parking downtown.  As a result of these changes, we expect to see more short term parking availability and better traffic flow, making the experience of visiting downtown a better one.
