1. Convert Commercial St. parking(waterside) to dedicated motorcycle/scooter spots. At three motorcycle spots per car spot this sends the right message and encourages commuters to use 2 wheels. Plus, motorcycle tourists spend big bucks.
2. What is the deal with the Municipal Golf Course? Where in the city charter is their the obligation to provide affordable golf and tax payer cost? That's right, the Muni usually runs a deficit. Other cities and private owners have started converting golf courses to other developments. Given the enormous amount of land that golf requires it really isn't the "highest and best use". Even without changing it's use, the city could sell or lease the land and put it back on the tax rolls. In 2007 the municipal golf course generated $1m in revenue...about the same as a average restaurant in the Old Port. Not really maximizing city assets.
