Paid parking: Outrageous!!!

Posted by bub on January 18, 2006 - 3:39am

It doesnt matter if noble people are masons...in name only..it doesnt matter that they ignore the taxpayers nor even ignore the visitors..what does matter is how irrational thought becomes.
Paid parking at 5 dollars a day..even for residents of Sauble Beach..is outrageous..now it will be 2 dollars per hour for a maximum of ten..and NO part time jobs..kiosks only thank you.
As per previous posts..we are already paying for the beach..what happened to that money..did it disappear? If any area has a point for de-amalgamation this noble area is one.It's a wunder that more people cannot see clearly or even varley how a noble act (bricklayer or not..and how old is your mother ?"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher.
"Everything is meaningless!") can hurt us all.
Welcome to the NEW Sauble..maybe we will get some noble titled(as in royal knights) land that will be approved for subdividing while forcing old water and aggregate business to sell..how sweet.How so cunning.

btw, just a heads-up that CFOS isn't as historical-record minded as those of us here on SBP, so any links to their News Centre page will be short-lived, transient, here today, changed and forgotten tomorrow. Maybe it's their mass-media mindset, maybe it's because they are radio and not accustomed to thinking of what went just moments before. Who knows. As a general rule, just clip what you read, and paste it into an edit box here on the SBP with a link back to their site. Seems the honorable compromise.

And speaking of the News Centre, following that link today yeilds some terrible news for Owen Sound's city streets, twice as terrible considering their own Chief of Police said it would be a waste of money that could otherwise be spent making a positive impact on youth street-crime statistics

Cameras on the way for Owen Sound' s downtown.
There will soon be cameras in downtown Owen Sound. The Downtown Improvement Area is only a few steps away from starting the pilot project. DIA Board Chair Anne Asten wants to be clear that the cameras are for incident reporting, not monitoring the general public. Asten says public sentiment has been overwhelmingly in favour of the cameras. She even noted a recent Bayshore Broadcasting internet news poll tput support for the plan at 73 percent. More important for the DIA, their membership has been very clear in their desire to go forward with the pilot project. Asten says they are now going to take proposals - and are hoping to get the cameras up as soon as possible. She adds that if the pilot project is successful, the DIA will likely look at installing more video surveillance in the future.

Much as maybe I don't relish the beach cleanup after an average May 2-4 revelry down on the lakeshore, I'm fifty-times as loath to be living under the constant gaze of faceless hall-monitors. What's next for Owen Sound? Bulgy robot beach balls that bully you back if you stray out of line?

I have to confess now, I thought Collingwood was in trouble when they flooded their downtown core with Muzak. Ah, thems were the days, such a time of blissful naive innocence ...

I can see new city slogan sign now:

Welcome to Owen Sound
.... Be seeing you!
