VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS
Downtown Parking:
Maggie Creighton, 142 Tait Ave., representing the Residents and Merchants Committee
TC:D8:RA040797
for New Parking, thanked the town staff, the Council and the developer for the efforts put
forth in helping the committee with its goal of obtaining 105 spaces in the new Old Town
parking lot. She noted the tremendous efforts of everyone involved, and the
disappointment in discovering the horrendous problems involved in building a parking
facility below the water table. This obstacle effectively defeated the possibility of the
proposed 105 parking spaces. The Committee has returned all donation and released all
pledges, but has promised to give its full support to the new "Strategic Parking Committee"
that is now being formed. The committee members are willing to share their records and
assist the new group as it develops other alternatives.

parking at Old Town. The suggestions that have been made are lower level front lot or

participation in parking at Old Town. The first option has been found to be unsatisfactory

supply additional space on Old Town property.
