[Mpls] Does Suburban Carpooler Gift gives Residents short shrift?

[PennBroKeith at cs.com]

I am concerned about the impending metro wide transit strike. I was surprised 
to learn that the City of Mpls. would offer free parking to carpoolers, most 
likely suburbanites, (w/some conditions) in 5 Municipal ramps DT, during the 
strike. 

It is good when stakeholders lend a hand. And, it is wise when City Leaders 
make efforts to help our City remain competitive. But, all the costs of owning 
these ramps continue, strike or no strike. Would it be unreasonable to ask our 
City Leaders to offer a discount-incentive to those that carpool; rather then 
just "giving it away"?
