While we pile on the fan unfriendly Yankees this morning, a soon to be ex-Yankee season ticket holder reminded me of this one from January. We’ve all forgotten that parking might be $29 in 2010!
The rates would then zoom to $29 in 2010 and would increase to $35 by 2014, according to a parking feasibility study that accompanies the bond documents.
“The rates … are projections made by an independent consultant,” said Janel Patterson, spokeswoman for the city Economic Development Corp. “They, therefore, do not necessarily reflect what the actual rates for the facilities will be.”
Fortunately the language says “projections.” Maybe the lack of fan enthusiasm will keep it down. Unfortunately if they are at $19 and they are talking $29, you can bet they will be over $20 next year.
