It would do something with the propery and take care of "All our nonexistent" parking issues. Or we can install parking meters to deter people from coming into the downtown area....lol

The bottom line is that there is NO parking issue downtown. are you serious?? There has been a parking problem downtown for YEARS!!! Are you joking? Seriously, name ANY downtown with less of a parking problem than Cranbury in the real world? Anywhere. Maybe Chernobyl. Even on the most significant events in Cranbury, like Cranbury Day or the 5th of July there isn't a parking problem. If its easy to park nearly by on Cranbury Day when most of Main Street is shut down, how can you possibly argue we have a parking problem. I arrived 15 minutes before the fireworks show on July 5 and still parked 2 minutes from where I watched them with a fantastic view.

The bottom line is that there is NO parking issue downtown. Then your opinion is in direct opposition to Mr. Stannard who has at numerous meetings talked about a parking problem. If he really beliecves that, its hard to have any respect for his position as a Township Committee member then because that's just crazy. It's like having a Congressman argue that the Earth really is flat. That's how credible it is to suggest we have a parking problem in Cranbury.
Guest	Posted: Tue, Jul 21 2009, 8:58 am EDT    Post subject: Re: The June 22, 2009 Township Committee meeting minutes There are two camps on this issue: those that think a problem exists and those that don't. And it appears neither can convince the other to the contrary. It seems to me that parking is much better than in other downtowns I've seen. There will obviously be ebbs and flows in parking demand. It is unclear whether people are arguing that the town plan for, and accommodate the highest levels of parking demand Cranbury encounters in a given year (sort of like planning for a 100 year rain event). I struggle with having an opinion on this issue in the absence of any data. I value the perspective of local businesses, who I presume are those arguing that sufficient parking does not exist. However, personally I am satisfied with parking and would also suggest we consider the consequences of adding more. What would we need to give up to gain more spaces?

Guest	Posted: Mon, Jul 20 2009, 11:36 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: The June 22, 2009 Township Committee meeting minutes Today Mon July 20 I went to lunch in Cranbury at the peak 12:00 time and plenty of spots, and on way back about 1:00ish there were 4 spots right infront of the BR place no more then 1min walk. So where is this fictitious parking problem, I never see it and I'm in town all the time.
Guest	Posted: Sun, Jul 19 2009, 7:45 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: The June 22, 2009 Township Committee meeting minutes S. Main, Evans and Brainerd Dr. and Maplewood have parking anytime of the week and N. Main rarely has issues. There are even a couple of public spots by the firehouse (not all). Yes, there are times I have been caught having to walk a little bit in the rain. However, compared to any other town this is a non-issue.

Maybe another time... This is most likely a fake poster. No one would seriously suggest that because they might have had to park across the street and maybe 200 feet down that they would completely change their plans about where to eat...

The PNC purchase the TC wants for a library and the parking is simply another excuse. The CBA brought specific concerns to the TC multiple times and the TC is just now listening and trying to work with the businesses.
