PAY FOR PARKING

There are a few times when active debate online is a truly great idea. One of the most progressive members of the FB City Commission, Mayor Susan Steger, often takes the time to poll her constituents. In an effort to look for public opinion on the pay for parking issue, the below is posted as a request to the largest online network for Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island. The replies are varied. If you use Facebook, just click the link below to reply to the topic of "Pay for Parking". We welcome your comments. I actually would like to hear from those of you opposed and those supporting "pay for parking" at the beach and downtown. The picture to the left was taken a little after 10Am this morning. Notice the numerous spaces open. Most of the businesses downtown are open by this time.

"Our city manager brought a pay for parking suggestion to the city commission. Kiosks would be placed at the beach, and downtown. Individuals who park are required to have a ticket on their windshield. The cost will be a $1 an hour.
This is done in Jacksonville and St Augustine. Would love to hear comments!
