NO parking meters!! I can't even believe this would be up for consideration. It would stop me, as a local, from frequenting downtown.

Barbara you are talking apples and oranges. Art in the Park, the Art Center has nothing to do with this current situation. I was against WalMart coming in... this idea is just crazy, and could cause the death of our lovely downtown area. (My opinion)

They put parking meters in the old city of st Augustine and it's a real pain! The limit is 2 hours so you have to either rush your shopping/eating time or spend all day running back to the meter every couple of hours. Please don't do this in BR!!

Parking meters are not the answer. Shuttling visitors is.

We have One street, going One way, which is quaint. Add parking meters to that would make the quaint go into a both. I'm not sure our downtown businesses can survive that. Might just be the quickest way to shut our downtown down.

This is a terrible idea. This may make the city of Blue Ridge money, but after the cost of the meters themselves, the installation cost and paying the people to enforce and maintain them, it won't be much. Plus it will loose the city it's number one industry, torrism. Nothing say "we don't want you here, leave." Like putting parking meters up and making people pay to spend money in our town. Not to mention, it looks awful. This is a dumb idea that has not been thought through, there are better ways to make revenue for the city of Blue Ridge, GA.

NO one wants to pay for parking. Locals just won't come
