FREE PARKINGAT MAFFEO SUTTON PARK
This sign was posted on the 'cash register' at Maffeo Sutton Park on Sunday morning, I presume it had been there for the length of the Marine Festival.
On Saturday I went downtown to see the Sailpast on Wheels Parade and parked in the Bastion Street Parkade, dutifully plugged the meter for two hours parking which cost a reasonable $1.
Many other people did the same thing. There was a family standing by the ticket machine trying to decide how long to pay for when a Robbins (I presume) attendant happened by and told them the lot was free for the Festival.
He also informed them that the lot behind the Howard Johnson was also free for the Marine Festival but that all other lots would still require payment to park in them.
Question, actually two questions; 'why was there no sign like the one above on the Bastion Street bandit?' Two: if you take your paid parking receipt into Robbins will they give you a refund?
If you think it is worth pursuing, let me know how you make out. Also ask why the free parking wasn't broadcast ahead of time?
