BIA wary of Midland's latest parking plans In an open letter, distributed last Wednesday to its member businesses, the Midland Town Centre Business Improvement Area (BIA) Board of Directors raised some _ serious criticisms of a new parking policy proposed for the Town of Midland. After much study, the Town's Planning and Development Com- mittee intends to ask council for of- ficial approval of a "Cash in Lieu of Parking"' policy. The plan is to give new businesses the option of paying a fee for parking spaces needed, instead of actually providing the required area on their own property. The "Cash in Lieu of Parking" proposal will also apply when an existing business changes the use of its current building. Eastern Star prize list The new parking fees, expected to be approximately $1,500 per spot, would be used to finance the acquisition of new parking properties. In the opinion of the BIA Board of Directors, "Cash in Lieu of Parking"' will be a deterrent to new business in & Midland. They believe that parking availability is essentially the responsibility of the municipality, and that BIA member business should be exempt from the new policy, if im- plemented, because of the current contributions to the Parking Authority in support of free three hour down- town parking. A delegation from the BIA was scheduled to take these concerns before last night's regular meeting of Midland Town Council. of the week Aug. 12-17 1985 FINISHING' $400 OFF 12 exp. $900 OFF 24 exp. $300 OFF 36 exp.
