Downtown merchants call for free holiday parking to be reinstated

OrilliaMatters

Check out downtown Midland. The buildings are all full of shops, unlike the empty storefronts throughout downtown Orillia. What's the difference? Midland offers free daytime parking throughout their downtown core. They encourge people to visit the town centre, rather than buildings impediments to keep them away.

'Unreasonable' parking restrictions hamper Orillia food bank patrons

OrilliaMatters

While I appreciate the public safety reasons for the parking restrictions, what ever happened to enforcement through education? A simple warning notice would have been sufficient to educate the motorist. The bylaw officer knew when they issued the fine at that location that they were financially impacting someone who was already in a difficult sitaution.
