Who owns Republic parking? This monopoly is getting ridiculous and the public-private thing is going too far as well. Paid parking at public parks live Renaissance, Coolidge, and the riverfront is a slap in the face for tourists already spending TONS of money in our downtown and a big KEEP OUT to residents with low incomes. For more on this debate and debacle check out CARTA director's response to this article in the Chattanoogan.com.
I'm fuming..

Actaully, I agree with you here. It does seem stupid to charge to park at an open community park.
If they don't think it will affect downtown they are sadly mistaken. I bet you'll see more and more go away from downtown for lunch and for other things as well.
