Mariah Peoples works as a hairstylist at Salon by Kat in the heart of downtown. Many of her clients take longer than 90 minutes, but that's how long she and her employees have to park, or they'll get hit with a ticket.
Each ticket costs $45 and can quickly add up.
"I won't park in the garage," Peoples said. "It's just scary, especially at night. It's pretty bad."
"I've had people drive around for 20 minutes and then call me and say, 'I can't come. I can't find parking,' " Dorton explained. "I've had employees of other businesses parking in front of my shop all day and not move. That's unfortunate because I need space."
"You got to think of your customers, but you also got to think about the business owners," Dorton said. "It's double-sided, but honestly, it comes down to respect. Everybody needs to respect each other, whether you're a customer, an owner, or employee."
There are parking permits that employees can purchase through the city, but some say there aren't enough for everyone who needs them.
The petition will be brought in front of the council at their next meeting, which is this Wednesday.
