I’m happy to hear that free street parking may be returning to downtown Stoney Creek. During my election campaign in 2010 I was strongly against the paid parking metres. Not only were they a waste of money, but we were targeting senior citizens who attend the legion in the area.
The metres were projected to bring in $176, 00 a year, but only $53,000 was the actual revenue, proving that it was a waste of tax payer’s and their goal was unsuccessful.
The decision for parking metres to be eliminated from downtown Stoney Creek streets needs to be ratified at the next council meeting.
