CONWAY — Selectmen decided Tuesday to move forward with a proposed paid parking plan for North Conway; however, a lengthy town meeting process stretches ahead that could affect its fate.

Tuesday was D-Day for selectmen as the budget must be handed off to the municipal budget committee next week.

This is such a horrible idea especially for the handicap and those on fixed income! I was born in N. Conway and when we can come up it is special. This fall was first time in 3 years. I get specific items only found in the 5&10 when able to get up there. Don't take long. Say 20 minutes at most and now must pay $2??? And it IS a hardship on relatives and family who live there or nearby like Lovell ME. Or when folks come to wander from place to place shopping and eat now ever mindful of THE METER that must be fed it is going to hurt businesses! Nope eat but not going to pay anymore to shop just leave or shop but forget about eating! What about special events like the 4th of July, the Mud Bowl? Want to do event and shopping or eat? And how much is the cost of monitoring and maintaining the meters? Like everything else the costs will rise. Just disgusting!

It appears to be a very unpopular thing… I’m going to vote for it. Hmmm

Let's be perfectly clear. Parking meters are simply a way of imposing a new tax. And every tax is a cut in pay. Period. Pretending that this will in any way diminish the burden already felt by taxpayers is further proof of additional poor leadership by the Select Board.
