I will choose to spend my money elsewhere if Blue Ridge 'taxes' me for my visit. Pure and simple...

It would be a mistake to put in parking meters. That is part of the charm of coming to Blue Ridge. Tourists don't want to feel like they are being gouged and that is what parking meters would do. The revenue derived isn't worth the loss of a good image. I come downtown and eat out and I wouldn't want to have to pay to park just to have breakfast. Don't do this! Leave the paid parking to the big cities. It would take away from Blue Ridge ambience!

I think it is a very bad idea. If I want to deal with that mess I would move to the city.

Do NOT put in parking meters. They are not conducive to tourism. They are conducive to big city business district feel. People do not want to spend time running to meters to add money or to pay for more parking than they may use. Bad ides

Tourism has brought a great deal of money into the city's coffers, & putting in parking meters will not only adversely affect the charm of our quaint town,

I lived in Blue Ridge for 15 years and went to visit family there since I was little and meters would make the town loose the old town feel that everyone comes to enjoy!

I live in Blue Ridge and go downtown a lot. It would be too expensive to have to pay for parking everytime I have to go downtown. I think it would be counter productive to put meters in

We need to keep Blue Ridge the friendly, small town that it has always been.

I don't believe the revenue gained by installing parking meters could possibly be worth the cost to install, maintain and enforce them! Are we going to have to pay to go downtown to use the library, play at the park, stop by the courthouse or go to work? Please don't put parking meters in downtown!!

What visitors to do when they are having a nice dinner? Stop feeding themselves to go feed the meter?

I grew up in Blue Ridge and come home frequently. I would hate to pay to park in my own town.

Blue ridge should remain a visitor friendly town. Parking meters in the mountain just seems wrong!!
