Charge the vendors to park off-site at a reduced rate? Why not charge the customers when demand is highest?
That is very bizarre.
And frankly, the parking challenges at the market have nothing to do with not enough parking. Charles and Benton is relatively far away, but the giant parking garage at Duke and Scott seems to have market parking (free IIRC) only one block away but is virtually empty. People fight for spaces, block the road and drive on the sidewalk on Market Ln. only dozens of meters away from hundreds of empty parking spaces. There's literally no reason for this to occur.
And yes, I was utterly shocked to discover parking was free at the market. I mean, WTF.
