Wow.  That didn’t take long.

Multiple outlets posted this note from Atlantic Station owners on Friday…

“We are listening to our local community and neighbors’ feedback, suggestions and concerns regarding the new Atlantic Station parking program,” the statement said. “We recognize there are areas we would like to further evaluate and more clearly communicate to ensure this new transition will be as smooth as possible for our retailers and guests.

“A revised plan for the new parking program, which will offer two hours of free parking with validation from shops restaurants, gyms, food trucks and Regal Cinemas, will be shared pending further review.”

I’m not shocked by the general public’s reaction.  Take away anything free and you’ll hear about it.  I’m just a bit surprised that the owners weren’t confident enough in their original plan to stick to their guns on this issue.

Easy for me to say, I guess.  I don’t have bajillions on the line.
