Kudos for doing this Tanya. I've heard countless stories over recent years of city hall strangling small business start-ups with crazy requirements for more parking or paying a fee to the city if you want to open on Locke or James and don't have a parking lot. Duh! I don't want parking lots on Locke or James - they are one of the main reasons why Main Street SUCKS. Look at all the trouble people have to go through to get patios on Locke Street. It's crazy.

No kidding our bylaws were written in the 50's. Too much of how we function was commonplace in the 50's.

Good luck Tanya. I hope you can organize a large number of local businesses who aren't looking to burn bridges at city hall, but press for 21st Century changes so our city can succeed again.
