Aloha! In today’s video, we’re diving into the parking challenges facing downtown Kona. Over the past couple of years, several major parking lots have transitioned to paid parking, causing frustrations for both locals and visitors. In this video, we’ll explore the history of parking in Kona, the impact on local businesses, and what’s being done to address these issues.

Business owners like Jeff Foster from Foster’s Kitchen and Chris Colby from Elite Sunset Plaza share how paid parking has affected their operations, with significant drops in revenue and foot traffic. We’ll also look at Parklink, the technology-driven parking system that’s introduced dynamic pricing, and discuss possible solutions, including the upcoming public meeting on November 15th. 🏝️🚗

If you love Kona or plan to visit soon, this video will help you understand the situation and give you tips on how to navigate parking. Let’s work together to support local businesses and keep Kona a vibrant place to visit!
