Council noi told of change as
meiers cui from airport parking

North Saanich should have been
consulted before short-term park-
ing was eliminated from the Vic-
toria Airport, Mayor Maurice Cha-
zottes said Thursday.

“The first we heard of it was
from Ald. Bill Gordon when he
went to airport and found all the
metres hooded,” Chazottes said.

Gordon complained he had to
drive into long-term parking and
then wait in line to exit the parking
lot.

The airport liaison committee
was not consulted on the change,
Chazottes said.

“That really annoys me. I do
resent not being consulted.”

The municipality has since been
advised the change is an experi-
ment and that meter rates were
about to be increased, so removal

of the meters did not increase

parking costs, Chazottes added. ~

NOW OPEN

On July 22, council passed a
motion regretting the decision to
discontinue short term parking and
the lack of consultation with North
Saanich.

The hooded meters have now
been removed from the parking
lot.

“It seems the experiment is
hardly a short-term one,” Cha-
zottes said.
