Council endorse idea for two-hour parking After July 1, you will no longer be able to park your car on the main street of Grand Bend for an entire Sunday afternoon. The Chamber of Commerce recommended to council at their regular meeting Monday, a two hour parking limit be posted on the main street for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays over the summer months, Thirty members of Grand Bend Golden Age Club met Wednesday afternoon for their May meeting at the Village Inn Retreat, President William Love presided. A new Canadian Flag was sent to the group by Larry Condon, M.P. of Middlesex- London-Lambton. A bus trip is in the planning stage for June 28. Grand Bend and Dashwood Golden Agers plan to go together to Huronview on the evening of The Chamber recommended a parking violation officer be hired to enforce the parking restric- tions in effect from 10 a,m. to 6 p.m. with violaters being subject to a $2 fine. Lack of adequate parking on the main street prompted the Chamber's proposal. The business people feel cars parked for an entire day on the main June 23 to conduct a bingo game for the residents. Group six provided an in- teresting program. Mrs. Matt Relouw told several humorous stories. Mrs. Nola Love and Mrs. Fern Love presented a skit en- titled, "Holding the bucket." Matt Relouw played several mouth organ selections, and the group enjoyed a short sing-song and lunch was served by Inn staff. This was the club's last regular meeting until Setember. street are detrimental to their business as there is not turnover of vehicles and customers are unable to find parking spots. In order to give the merchants on the main street a place to park their own cars, the Chamber proposed the village should rent the vacant lot owned by Ausable Holding Lts. (behind the village Inn and Ravelles), for the ex- clusive use of parking by Main St. merchants and employees. The cost of implementing such a parking program was estimated by the Chamber at $1800 including the wages of a student to catch violaters, the cost of 40 signs stating the parking regulations and the printing of 2,000 sets of parking tickets. Half of this would be paid by the Chamber with the other half being paid by the village. The Council agreed something must be done to improve the parking conditions and felt the Chambers proposal would be a positive first step. Council agreed to take responsibility for the program including the hiring of a student and ,enforcement of the regulations. ' Concerning the renting of the alternative parking lot for the merchants, Reeve Bob Sharen and Councillor Bill Baird declared a conflict of interest and retired from the discussion. Council finally decided they should appoint the Chamber as their official agents and have them take care of getting and maintaining the lot. Both the Chamber and the council agreed the parking limits would be in force only until Labor Day and a complete review would be done at that time. If it was felt the project was not working at that time, it would not necessarily be implemented next year. closing time A by-law to change the closing time in the Village of Grand Bend to 1:30 a.m. instead of 2:30 a.m. was given its first and second readings and referred to a committee of the whole council for further discussion during Council's regular Monday meeting. The by-law is the result of a request from the OPP stationed in Grand Bend for the summer to attempt to help them alleviate some of the problems occuring in the early morning hours on the village streets. Council did not give the by-law its third and final reading as they wish to give objectors a chance to state their case before making the by-law official. A request by the village council to the Chamber of Commerce for a $1500 donation towards the beach patrol was turned down by the Chamber as their by-law does not let them support municipal projects. However, the Chamber informed council they do wish to help and have offered to forego their annual $1500 grant from the village so that money may be used to support the beach patrol. Councillor Harold Green in- formed council there will be four lifeguards on beach patrol during weekends and holidays with two on duty through the week. Permission was given to the Grand Bend Art studio to allow them to sell carnations during the Baffaloburger Festivities ex- cluding in the actual beer tent. The proceeds will go to the Art Studio. Council learned the Chamber wants to go ahead with the land- scaping of the two islands at the west end of the main street. Boulders and shrubs will be used on the larger island with a flag pole in the centre and a large boulder will be used on the small island. Council gave the Chamber the go-ahead.
