Section 11-61A-1 Declarations. The history of municipalities and the course of legislatures
throughout America, including the Legislature of Alabama, confirm that public welfare requires
that Class 2 municipalities be authorized to provide off-street parking facilities through
parking authorities. The Legislature makes each of the following declarations: (1) The free

safety, and general welfare of the public. (2) The greatly increased use of motor vehicles
has caused serious traffic congestion on the streets of the Class 2 municipalities. (3) The
parking of motor vehicles has contributed to the congestion. (4) The congestion prevents the
