Parking Garage Article Anyone?
November 7, 2012 - 15:33
Now that the presidential election is over and resolved in the best way possible (ahem) it's time for us to turn our thoughts toward local politics.
I still have until the 14th to get an article to town meeting that attempts to give town meeting a say in whether a parking garage is built. I was going to skip it but I feel now that with the Grand Union situation up in the air, people could take steps to make a garage more possible.
What do you all think?
Take my questionnaire. Let me know.

Here are the replies so far. If we get this ratio of responses at town meeting it will pass.



I've decided to shelve this intiative for a few reasons.
1. I don't have the time required to promote this article leading up to town meeting.
2. I feel with the Grand Union space up in the air, acting on this may result in negative consquences.
3. It may be a good idea to wok to build a coalition over the next 18 months and then bring it back.
4. It may be more fruitful and important to push the NP&EDC to enact rules for their new Development opf Regional economic impact permit as outlined here: http://yackon.com/node/1089
If anyone feels strongly that a parking garage measure should be on the ballot, I stiull have a day to get signatures to Catherine at the Town Clerk's office. So let's hear some chatter.
