Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken has sent off a Memorandum to the City Council. It reads as follows.
“After a long, extraordinarily snowy winter, it’s time to celebrate the arrival of spring. In an effort to encourage people to shop and dine downtown, the Administration is announcing a parking meter holiday in which all parking meter fees on Main Street will be waived effective March 16 through March 31, 2015.
We are optimistic that this will generate much needed business for the downtown shops and restaurants and we are working with the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce to reach out to the downtown merchants to publicize this promotional event”
In order for this “parking holiday” to work we must all be vigilant to make sure we all do not abuse the parking privilege by parking on Main Street. Please explain to employees that the parking in front of businesses are for customers only not employee parking.
Please, lets make this promotion by the Mayor work for us, God knows this has been one rough winter.
Thank You Madam Mayor, for helping and thinking of our downtown.
Moving Forward.
