As a summer visitor to the Festival of the Sound I need a place to park on Bay Street, in front of my B&B, without having to constantly fill a parking meter.

Having just moved to Parry Sound from southern Ontario where they installed parking metres downtown, then subsequently removed them because the local businesses were actually losing money, I would like to sign this petition opposing the metres.

I work on James Sstreet and I park on Bay street, The BOCC is always full and I am not walking miles from my car to work. This is one of the few places that I can park my car. And with the amount that I pay in taxes to this town every year, don't even mention me buying a parking pass.

We visit Parry Sound every summer and having to "time" our parking would be a huge inconvenience. Please reconsider this decision. Also what is the cost of monitoring the meters? It's it worth it?

As a tourist paid parking is enough to send me in a different direction. The last thing I need on vacation is to worry about how many hours are left or a ticket.

Putting in parking meters to increase revenue for Town of Parry Sound is not the way to do it. Let them look at the other side of the coin - those with businesses that people won't frequent as often if they must pay for parking.... How desperate is the Town of Parry Sound!!

It makes no sense on such a small stretch of roadway where various businesses will lose money as a result of it. Over the years I have seen many businesses close already. This will make it worse.
