Parking lots ownership to be marked with signs
While Mr. Willie was at the
meeting councillors also com
mended him on renovations to the
exterior of the store.
New signs clearly marking the
main street parking lot as a
municipal parking lot will be
erected by Blyth village council
after a complaint from a rival
merchant that the presence of an
advertising sign for one store
makes some shoppers think it’s a
private parking lot for that store.
Al Willie of Blyth Supermarket -that Don Scrimgeour of the
appeared before Blyth council
Aug. 10 saying that some cus
tomers are confused by the sign for
the Knechtel’s supermarket think
ing it indicates the parking lot is for
customers of thatstore only. He
asked that either the parking lot be
marked to clearly indicate it was a
municipal parking lot or that he be
allowed to put up a sign too. He
indicated, however, that he would
be happy with the first course of
action.
Reeve Albert Wasson explained
Knechtel’s store had approached
council a couple of years ago asking
permission to erect the sign
because people travelling through
Blyth often missed his store even
when they were looking for a
grocery storebecause itwasset
back from the street at the rear of
the parking lot.
“ It is a mu nicipal parking lot and
maybe it should be signed as
such,” Reeve Wasson said. ‘‘It’s
never been a problem for us
(knowing it was a municipal lot) but
we live here.”
After Mr. Willie left the meeting
council discussed the matter furth
er with Councillor Lloyd Sippel
saying he felt that Mr. Willie had a
legitimate concern. When Mr.
Scrimgeour had approached coun
cil with his plan for the sign ‘‘it
never crossed my mind that it could
give the impression it’s Knechtel’s
parking lot.”
Council passed a motion to look
into installing the municipal park
ing lot signs at the entrances to the
lot and also to investigate two other
matters Mr. Willie brought up:
that parallel parking signs along
Drummond Street beside his store
are now so faded they can’t be read
and that parking lines on the street
need to be repainted.
