Yes, it is called "shaming" ~ we have appealed to our representatives. We will continue to make folks aware of the on-going issue of the lack of public parking in Cayuga. The county included in the official "Streetscape Plan" drawings and description of parking lots - all privately owned, privately maintained. And ~ the county collects business taxes from the very "property owners" that they identify as parking areas. We are requesting a public parking lot close to the downtown businesses. "Haldimand County Streetscape Plan" identifies the downtown as "historic" and a tourist area.
We will continue to post updates on Facebook. Downtown has lost several tourist- friendly businesses and whether the county addresses the problem of parking will determine the future of remaining businesses, including the bookshop.
