Beach Parking Warning

Sunshine and 30 degrees, beach weather for sure. And you can consider this your heads-up if you're planning on heading to the Risser's area. RCMP say there's a two-kilometer stretch of Highway 331 between Crescent Beach and Rissers that's a no-parking area. Constable Rob James says residents frequently park along the highway at the entrance to the boardwalk south of the reception gate of Rissers. He says there are signs up that show this is not permitted. And he says they will be starting to write tickets and tow vehicles in the next few days. He says guests of the Risser's Beach Provincial Park should use the designated parking area at Risser's Beach.

Parking Review

Bridgewater Council has decided to review parking all over town since councillors couldn't come to a consensus on Glen Allan. Mayor Carroll Publicover strongly feels if people won't pay to use the hospital parking lot, they should be forced to pay to park on the surrounding streets. Publicover says staff has been asked to bring back a report on options which could include revamping some parking meters to raise the parking fees.
