COGRADULATIONS
Upon entering the east parkade for the Storm game last night I was persented with a little blue slip of papper telling me that as of April 1, 2011 I’ll be paying $5.00 to park in city lots. WRONG, I will never be parking in a city lot again. I’d rather pay the gentleman that […]
parking – part of economic infrastructure
I understand that Councillor Guthrie recently alluded to un-named merchants who claimed to be in favour of returning parking meters to downtown Guelph. But what might they have been in favour of – or against? Were they in favour of a special tax on downtown users, or just irritated by the vanishing short-term (and long-term) […]

Ward 2 Coun. Ian Findlay said the increase doesn’t strike him as […]
Event Parking
I recently read the the city is considering raising the cost of event parking from $2/vehicle to $5/vehicle. I am writing to ask that is item NOT be approved. I feel that by rasing the price of event parking, you will be limiting the amount of people who attend the events downtown. Afterall the majority […]
