50% does seem pretty high. I guess the argument could be made that those that reserve would be competing for free spots anyway, so the same number of people will be utilizing the lots whether 20, 30 or 50% end up paying. The big challenge will be finding out what percentage would actually be willing to pay.
Enforcement will be interesting. If someone pulls up at 9:55 AM and has a reserved spot and all are taken, what happens then? Instant tow to an offending vehicle? Some kind of swipe to enter system for the reserved portion of the lot? Will the spaces be numbered or will the reserved section have 100 spots and exactly 100 reservations sold?
