There were 35 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “How do you think the parking program is going so far?”
Twenty dollars is too much. But almost every town that I can think of you have to pay somewhere for parking of some sort. It's just the way it is. I don't know why we don't enforce the two-hour parking in the village like they used to, or why we don't have parking meters to generate money for this area. This town is getting worse by the day. The locals are being pushed out. There's no place to live. Sure, I could go down to First Bridge if I wanted to, but why would I want to do that during the busy season? Thank God I have my secret spot.
