Very bad idea. Has been detrimental to businesses in Buckhead (Atlanta) and causes anger and resentment from employees and customers alike.

Allow visitors to spend money at the local businesses.

I am a frequent visitor to Blue Ridge and enjoy the small town hospitality. The proposed installation of parking meters, without the publics input is a disaster in the making. It is merely my opinion that without the support of your local business community and residents, the city council has not done their job to represent the city in a manner that is in the best interest of their constituency. That being said, the investment to install and maintain parking meters for a very small town is, in essence, a ridiculous use of city revenue.

this will be bad news for visitors and customers of the downtown merchants.

Please do impose parking meter requirements in Blue Ridge! People will just find a free spot further away and not frequent the shops there.
Parking meters will detract from the Blue Ridge business environment and its charm for visitors, not improve it. PLEASE consider other alternatives.

One would expect them in large cities such as downtown Atlanta, but not in the COMMUNITIES of Virginia-Highlands or Little Five Points, and certainly not in the COMMUNITY of Blue Ridge!!

If one was trying to discourage business from our charming downtown area this would be a wonderful start. Main Street would lose it's appeal. Let's all work to keep the ambience of Blue Ridge which to many represents small town America. All visitors enjoy our town's timeless appeal.

This is a community not a business. Do not ruin our community. Are you trying to raise money or keep the visitors away. I can think of other ways to raise money and make people happy. If the is a special need then let's face the need and not screw up our community

We do not need parking meters. It takes away from the ambience of the town. Even on the busiest weekends I don't have trouble parking downtown.
My thanks & appreciation to the Blue Ridge Business Association for standing up and fighting this proposal! We need to "encourage" visitors to our wonderful little town...not "discourage" them!

Parking meters are not logical for downtown. The market place will resolve parking issues without government intrusions.
