CEDAR RAPIDS — Drivers of hybrid, alternative-fuel or zero-emission vehicles will get the best parking spots in the city’s Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue parking ramps.

The preferential treatment to encourage the use of energy-efficient vehicles likely will be adopted for other downtown parking ramps as well . . . go to:

My question: will taxpayers be paying for hybrid car recharging?

[LoneStarGI]

Ok, so you give the up-close slots to the ‘fuel-efficient’ cars, which means the ‘gas-guzzlers’ will have to driver around to find a spot, causing them to continue to release more ‘carbon’ into the air. Nice, good job there.

[Nervous Tick]

This is great! Puts all the cars that need “keying” in one convenient place.

(j/k)

[EggsAckley]

Seriously, you need to ask? Taxpayers pay for everything else.......

[T Minus Four]

Exactly my thought. Idiots!

[wysiwyg]

Makes me want to park a Hummer in one of those spaces just to piss ‘em off.

Where do the Rats hitch up their donkeys?

Just the beginning of regimentation and PC gone wild!

[The_Victor]

It probably isn’t a good use of fuel for me to drive from Houston to Cedar Rapids just for better parking.

[xsrdx]

One more reason to avoid downtown Cedar Rapids!

what if you’re handicapped/pregnant/protected minority?

This is blatant discrimination against the poor who can’t afford those expensive hybrids! Another example of the elites walking around with their noses in the air setting up barriers against the “lower classes”.

"Drivers of hybrid, alternative-fuel or zero-emission vehicles will get the best parking spots in the city’s Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue parking ramps."

Please allow me to translate. These Goose Stepping little Brown Shits don't like your life style so they will continue to trample constitutional government until you're licking their hands and feet for the privilege of continuing to exist. This is the real goal. Never doubt it.

[Abathar]

*snicker* You and I think alike, my Suburban would look just fine parked there.

[Desron13]

Sorry, Shits was supposed to be shirts. However, both would apply.

[Mengerian]

If that isn't the truth. It's remarkable how much more costly it is to be so-called “green.” From organic foods and hybrids, the libs have elevated sanctimony to new heights. It has become a status perch for them.

[sheik yerbouty]

There are lots of other hybrid cars. Mine is a gas/air hybrid!

[Desron13]

"what if you’re handicapped/pregnant/protected minority?"

That's easy. The store that your parking in front of has to pay you for taking their merchandise. Then you get to sue them for being islamophobic because your Muzzy neighbor told you that someone looked at his burka clad wife at this establishment last week and he felt that he was being "Profiled" as a result. It's called Liberalism and it really is a mental disorder.

The Third and Fourth Avenue parking ramps were damaged in the June 2008 flood

It won't be the gas guzzlers who will be crying the next time it floods, lol.
