Our small business is negatively impacted by the lack of parking every day. The city has promised parking for years! We've invested and we've been patiently waiting.

The Downtown/Old Town businesses will suffer if existing parking is replaced by residential housing. We do need low-cost housing, but we also need accessible parking so families can cross a street without fear and children can safely ride their bikes.
Caryn Couey, Eureka
We cherish our visitors to the Old Town and Downtown area, and we want them to feel welcome by making sure they can get here, park, do their business, and enjoy everything downtown Eureka has to offer. Measure F is needed to ensure our businesses can stay open by providing enough parking for customers, tourists, employees, and everyone who wants to spend time in our beautiful Downtown. Right now, the city’s plan doesn’t do that and will be devastating to our local economy.
Parking downtown is very limited and a lot of people working nearby, as well as my regular customers, struggle to find parking, especially during the winter.
Measure F is the solution that doesn't take away parking for working people and our customers, and will help keep our doors open.
I am voting Yes on Measure F for a very important reason: Single parents need parking nearby. I was a single mom who lived in affordable housing with my child. It was not an easy place to live but we had parking. If the city takes the public parking lots in Old Town, it's going to add extreme stress to these families and be unmanageable.
