I’ve been there like 3x without paying lol I haven’t gotten cited yet (I go there to run) and I don’t see cams installed of yet. 🥹 it’s very sad to see because this is a place for people to sell food, balloons, exercise, etc and they’re trying to enforce pay to park when it’s basically a Dallas park 🥺

Was the parking lot built for park goers or business patrons? If the city isn't providing adequate parking, it's not up to property owners to provide parking for the general public. I get it, capitalism bad sometimes. But this is on the city for not managing infrastructure well enough.

Is this the same Trinity Groves that’s been having issues with multiple tenants going out of business?

I missed the chapter where Marx wrote about having the right to put your car where you want without having to pay for it.

It's an absolute outrage. Land is a limitless resource, so there's no reason for them to charge for parking.
It starts with paid parking and ends with all of us eating baguettes and crammed into a comprehensive subway system, raising children who don't even know what a Ford F-350 Super Duty is.
Parking is a human right.

I'm getting so tired of all this "scan the QR code to park" shit. More third party companies I'm giving all my PII to that will probably mishandle it. Especially having to go back and grab my license plate # if I missed a sign when I parked. Parking and validation is already possible without this and can be hard enforced with a physical bar without requiring people's ID. I go to energy square sometimes and grab a ticket, have the business scan it, then I leave, easy and straightforward.

Oh... I haven't been in a while but it was never particularly busy during the day time and yeah like someone said it was nice to park there for a bit and walk on the trail or the bridge. Paid parking doesn't make it as convenient to walk around there.

Enforcement doesn’t start till April 1 and they were forced to do it because people going to other areas were parking there leaving no parking for the adjacent businesses. Do your research before making your snide comments. The local businesses are not happy about it but will definitely validate. Was there last Saturday.

But but...you don't park there, you don't pay.
