CONWAY — The town's parking program, which was bleeding cash for a time, is now becoming profitable, Conway Town Manager Tom Holmes told selectmen Tuesday.Â
Paid parking is in now effect daily at popular canoe put-in spots in town, including First Bridge in North Conway, Davis Park in Conway and the Smith-Eastman Landing on Meeting House Road behind the Conway Police Station.
I am glad for the change in price to $3 for an hour, but I still think it is too high. In the proposal of the paid parking system, the issue was pandemic trash and the cost of cleanup. The money from these kiosks should be going to making these areas a true paid area. If I am going to pay, I except trash receptacles and toilets at the very least. That is what is offered by the state forest and national forest. People who pay do not want to lug dog shit home. If you had a place to put it, and other trash it would do a lot to clean up these spots.
Also, I have stopped coming to North Conway as often due to these changes. For $3 and hour I am not saving money spending money in North Conway.
North Conway was lucky during the pandemic that people continued to come and social distance on your natural spaces. This helped keep your economy alive and thriving in comparison. Now as a response you are treating those same people as a nuisance. Nice. Real, nice.
