I love to visit Blue Ridge becauseof it's small town feel. Parking meters will change all of that.

Being a former business owner in Fannin County, I totally agree that meters would be a detriment to the business owners. For one thing, they will be bombarded with requests for 'change' to feed the meter.Visitors want to spend the day in Blue Ridge, on the train, eating meals, shopping, etc. It's stupid for them to be running back and forth to the meters It is an absolute turnoff and will be a negative factor to visiting our city. People will try to avoid the meters and find 'free' parking anywhere they can.

I moved from Polk county to Cleveland.. I stayed in Blue Ridge all the time it seems, but when I get times to come visit I like to take my time and look and shop around.. I would hate to think I came all the way from Cleveland just to be rushed back by a parking meter.

Parking meters are not visitor or resident "friendly", and I urge City Council members not to vote to install them.

This is a horrible idea. Parking is difficult downtown, but meters are not a solution. It will only add a hassle to enjoying the downtown area.

Horrible idea!!! Poor solution to a problem. Be more creative not to run people off when the business community is trying to get people to come, stay and spend downtown

I feel this will only serve as a deterrent for downtown business. I agree that "No Train Parking" signs would be a preferable solution.

Not for it. I believe the law states that 'meter money' MAY NOT be used as revenue for the city. The council needs to address that.

Bad idea! Think of something different! Invest in a lot and build a parking garage! No need to deter people from parking in the few spaces we have! Also how about no train parking signs?

Adding parking meters is only going to deter folks more from coming down town! Instead of gaining revenue you only loose if the parking meters are installed.
