Background information

there is far too much policing of parking. if you really make the fine hurt ( $12 is not hurt enough) but give drivers time to get back before they get a ticket then no one can complain. While there will be fewer wardens and fewer tickets they will get alot more money and the size of the fines will mean people will behave better so the need for wardens numbers will be less than at present. This should still achieve the wcc goal of wanting people to move on from parking spaces to let others in
