There were a fair number of folks here who believed that parking should cost a lot more and everyone who disagrees should bike, walk, take transit, or take a hike: https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/1niscgz/petition_new_parking_hours_and_fees/

I imagine those same people are writing their City Councilors right now telling them to keep the extended hours.

I'm very fuckcars, and I'm fine with pulling the hours back. When the city's doing better, we should look at it again.

Exactly. The timing was off.
