I also have one on the Naperville/North side of the tracks if you want to switch.

Thanks!!

I sent you a DM about this.

I have a parking permit I rarely use on the RT. 59 aurora side. I would rent it out quarterly for $100 a month. Let me know if anyone interested...

Yes I am really interested, please let me know if you still have it and give me your phone number and send email to ziashuja@yahoo.com

Thanks

I am in need of a Rt. 59 south side parking pass if anyone has another they would like to sell or lease. Have been on the list for years and don't seem to be getting anywhere. Thanks!!!!

If demand for parking permits is really this high, why doesn't Naperville do one of the following in order to boost revenue/reduce demand?

1. Raise the rate for the permit significantly - if there is so much demand then they ought to be able to double/triple/quadruple the cost of a permit, and still fill the lot

2. Build a larger parking area. Build up, not out. Add levels and create a parking garage instead of a lot. In an area that gets so much precipitation as Chicagoland I am often surprised why we don't have more garages instead of lots. Who wants to ride a train for an hour, only to be confronted with having to scrape snow/ice off your car.

If RT 59 Parking spaces are so hot under the worst economic conditions in a lifetime can you imagine what it will be like when the economy is healthy? Metra's board is acting to alleviate the high ridership with a big fare increase!

or:

3. Do away with permit parking entirely and go 100% daily fee. The number of empty spaces in the permit lots every morning @ the 5th Ave station is maddening. They have already hiked the price once recently. I think that a 100% daily fee parking setup would probably take care of most of the current overflow. Though I would certainly be ok with option #2. It seems that the city leadership is still focussed on ride sharing, public transportation, etc: IE bureuacratic wishful thinking.
