Manitou toodle-oo

To the merchants of Manitou Springs: I have enjoyed frequenting your shops, restaurants, bars and events for over 30 years. However, that is about to change.

In the last four months, I have received two parking tickets for offenses which neither endangered nor inconvenienced anyone. When I related my experience to friends, I was surprised to hear that others had encountered the same thing.

In my opinion, this crackdown is due to the overzealousness of the local parking officer(s) or the Manitou Springs Police Department in general. Either way, it appears the city of Manitou is now targeting its visitors for revenue enhancement.
