We hit Portland today. Took the kids to the Children's Museum. After dropping the family off in front of the museum I had two choices, pay $6 to park in a garage or cruise the street for free parking.
I cruised. Only once around the block, but I hit pay dirt.
This is my only concern about the city's parking plan which calls for free on-street parking. Increased cruising.
We shall see.

Tom, were there time limits for the on-steet parking? Unless I missed a change (which is entirely possible!), I think the NBPT on-street parking will have more retrictive time constraints. I think it was 2 hours in most cases and 30 or even 15 minutes in "high turnover" areas. Perhaps folks will still cruise...
Joe, good point. First off, no time restrictions as it was a Sunday. Second, you make a great distinction, but two hours - even 30 minutes - can be a long time in Newburyport.
I think we'll see more cruising, but time will tell.
