A first step in driving business away from Main Street would be parking meters. Let's keep our doors open to visitors instead of making their lives harder.

Keep Blue Country, that's the main reason people come here, meters and country atmosphere don't go together.

There should NOT be parking meters in blue ridge. It will ruin the small and homey feel of the town. We have done fine so far so why try and change blue ridge.

I can't believe anyone could possibly even consider this. What a way to ruin the small town charm.

No parking meters, this makes the town look tacky, and I feel it will take away from down town Blue Ridge's beauty

The newly elected City Council are looking to turn back the forward momentum the downtown business has created!

I feel that meters will be harmful to business especially during the off season. Personally, I would find it too annoying to be bothered with.

Although parking spaces are taken up by people riding the BRSR, they do bring business into Blue Ridge. What would Blue Ridge be without the train?

As a former business owner in downtown Blue Ridge something needs to be done, we had to sell our building because the city did not think that people taking all the parking spaces and riding the train and shopping all day was something they needed to address , so our customers had to go somewhere else. Is meters the answer I do not know. But it seams like the city government at that time did not care about anything but more money from the train.

It is a Democrat inspired tax scheme; disguised as a fee. Conservatives know better what is good for our community.

It would lessen the enjoyment of visitng downtown for locals and visitors. I believe it would have a negative impact.

Parking meters are a sure fired way to reduce traffic to your local merchants from nearby areas. I think it would be a one way ticket to the formation of the Blue Ridge Ghost Town. No stores. No people.
