This takes away from the small mountain town feel that makes this place so wonderful. If we wanted parking meters we would live in Atl or South Florida

I am not a merchant and do feel that this would be a detriment to downtown businesses.

NO, we do not need parking meters in Blue Ridge We need someone to enfored that OWNERS do not park in the places meant for customers. Some park two and three vehicles in the parking places on main and THEY cause the problems.

Each year, the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce provides questionnaires to our area's visitors. The results from the 2013 questionnaire shows that shopping in downtown Blue Ridge is the NUMBER ONE reason for coming to our town. With that being proven, the use of parking meters is NOT a viable solution to parking issues. Can you imagine how significantly parking meters will destroy the leisurely stroll through the downtown area? I am OPPOSED to the use of parking meters.

The Love of Money is the root of all evil... Give the regulasr folks a break, there are other solutions to charging for parking, why not have a 2 hours for free area and then if someone is abusing the privilege , give them a $15-20 dollar parking ticket instead... Thank you and God Bless you too...

this will only make us pay for a service we are lacking in Blue Ridge. We need parking not paying for the few spaces we have.

THis is insanity and will cut down on tourist traffic. Whqt will train passengers do? get tickets on every trip? Adding meters in no way will improve parking except to cut down on tourists. Not what merchants want. Need more parking. Build train parking etc oof site and provide shuttle bus to downtown.

I am a former Fannin County resident and most of my family resides there today. With that being said I come to visit several times a year and I make it a point to go downtown every time I'm in Blue Ridge. There is more than enough revenue being generated in this town and parking meters are just going to punish the people who are spending time and enjoying their time downtown.

Parking meters would cause me to spend less time downtown and would deter me from going downtown in the first place.

Parking meters send the wrong message to visitors and local shoppers. The revenue would be negligible and can better be raised in other ways.

This is not a good idea. A nearby city parking lot with a small fee would be better.
