Coolopolis and its staff think it would be a great idea to give shoppers a break and allow them to shop without feeding the meters downtown just for the holiday season. We feel that Ville Marie borough mayor should do this for Montrealers. just as a favour to Coolopolis.Update: Mtl opposition leadear and downtown borough boss has taken up the Coolopolis suggestion and given people free parking downtown around Christmastime - between Dec. 20 and 28. Happy parking! Happy shopping!
For those who thinque this is no great idea - (and u wrong 4 dat!) this stupendous book should help buttress your cause.
Good luck with that... I am sure they are hard at work trying to find more ways to gouge us...
ReplyDeleteyour idea will just make the parking situation worse along ste catherine street
ReplyDeletecars will park there all day long, and there will simply be more competition and cruising for available spots
Didn't Labonté just annouce that this morning?
ReplyDeleteNo meters downtown between the 20th and 2th of December...so that they can stimulate shopping.
ReplyDeleteIt was announced today...details to follow.
Someones listening.

There was also talk of "free public transit" as of the 23Dec...of course, how that would work, and whether there would be great confusion between STM being free and AMT still gouging its riders, still has to be seen....or the fact that users of public transit may head just as easily to suburban malls as to downtown if the fare were to be free.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't anyone just appreciate the gesture ? These are tough economic times and the borough mayor is simply trying to do a small gesture in relection of what's going on. Is the glass half empty or half full ??? Happy Holidays everyone.
