It's like riding the 30, but full of yuppies. For the proposed bus stop extension, two parking meters are yellow-zoned meters and I assume the other 3 are regular meters. Unless the hotel owner is illegally feeding the meters for her guests, then I don't see why she should be complaining. This block (where the bulk of complaints are coming from) does not have heavy foot traffic. For most part, most of the people walking down this block are commuters who get off the 41, 45, or 22.
