ok so i went and got my permit today. i was kind of miffed about the price, but then i just think that i pay 25 a WEEK to park my car downtown and then 50 for a whole year doesnt seem too bad. although i could ride my bicycle and park for free lol.
im not a fair weather rider either, so its not like im only going to park once in a while in june july and august. my bike is really my main source of transportation.
i was the second person to get a permit. dude in line in front of me got the first one. bastard. lol just kidding
so here is what you get:

so the 50 is going for a kickstand coaster, 2 stickers and 3 brochures in addition to the signage and paint.
btw, the spots are free for all two wheelers after 5pm. the permits arent for everyone, but IMO if you have a bike and live or work downtown, it can be very helpful. if you live in dublin and go downtown for dinner once every 6 months, probably not for you
you can get the permit at the impound lot: 400 east whittier street
