Downtown Flint Parking Shouldn’t Be a Guessing Game

Trying to park downtown Flint shouldn’t feel like an escape room.

You find a space. You find a meter. Then comes the big question: is this thing actually working, or am I about to donate money to the ticket fund?

If a meter doesn’t clearly show what’s happening, you’re left wondering whether your payment registered, whether you should move, and whether a ticket is waiting for you.

I’m not asking for red-carpet parking. Just clear instructions and a meter that makes its status obvious.

We’re trying to support downtown—not solve a parking mystery.

Anybody else get that “am I about to get a ticket?” feeling?
