One thing businesses could do to provide free parking for their employees is to contact the local churches, of which there are several in the downtown area. Since most churches hold services on Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon, and maybe Saturday night, there is a lot of empty parking sitting there during the rest of the week. Reaching out and asking the church if it would be OK for employees to park there during the times the church does not need the lot for parking for parishioners would help the employees and employees and not burden the churches any. Of course, if you run a business at the south end of Illinois would still have a walk of several blocks but apparently that is better than paying for parking.
