PUBLIC PARKING LOT FOR CAYUGA ?

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.

All work ceased on the new bridge in November, 2014.  It sits unaligned with the highway.

A Step Up!  We Are In. *Thank You*, Charlie!

The Neat Little Bookshop Has A Step~ Now if we can do something about the bridge.  Currently, no solution.  All progress stopped.

CLOSED FOR THE SECOND DAY ~ This is a foot-and-a-half drop into rubble.  We cannot explain as a small business why the county contract leaves us in these conditions.  We apologize to our customers and friends for any inconvenience and invite the Mayor, the Councillors and the County Project Manager to visit the small businesses in Cayuga.
