This is a terrible idea. It was tried before. It didn't work. It didn't solve any problem. It didn't make the town more user friendly. It highlighted the lack of public parking in the downtown. It discouraged tourism. It hurt downtown businesses. It created anger and resentment amongst residents and visitors alike. And yes, I sent my comment to planning@trenthills.ca

It was your suggestion in a column that you were going up the hill to donate your cheque. Joanne and I beat you to it. I hope others will follow your suggestion.

In regards to parking it should be the merchants that make suggestions. The last thing I would like to see is parking meters. It wouldn,t even be a cash cow for the Municipality as they would have to buy them, signs and a staff to issue tickets, trips to Cobourg for court. By the way who are these two new planners?

Keep up the reporting Art as this is the only information we get in regards to Council.
