Dear Editor,
I have re-studied the proposed parking meters plan by city council and think that there are certain factors which should be considered:
- The employees who would be affected, eg, insurances, banks, etc
- The business sector should be consulted on the possible loss of revenue.
- What about temporary parkers, viz, pick-ups for schoolchildren?
- GRA, Camp Street ‒ the time spent and possibility of being robbed in this venue and others where money is being carried in transit to vehicles.
- City Hall ‒ did a business plan justify this investment at this time when it is severely cash-strapped and can’t even pay the workers and garbage collectors?
- What about using vacant lots for the construction of multi-storey car parks?
- Vehicle owners are not generally pedestrians ‒ check out how many persons exercise on a daily basis.
Yours faithfully,
V O Patrick
