Picton Parking Fee

[davew3]

So, was at Picton on Sat. No envelopes for paying, nor an attendant. So launched the boat along with everyone else and parked in the lot across the street. Was out for 6 hours. Skunked by the way. Marking lots out in front of the cement plant but no takers.

So get back and pulled out the boat, get ready to go and notice a white piece of paper under my wiper.

 

A 2 day $20.00 bill for parking. By the Picton Bay Marina !! Thier notice says "Fair is Fair"

I called and the lady says " we don't know how long you were there so that's the way it is "

 

How many others got this? Is this something new?

 

I will be calling Picton city hall Monday to see what this is about.

 

I was and am willing to pay the launch fee as stated at the ramp. But if they do not have the materials or the staff why do they think they can just bill everyone $20.00 ?

 

I will post a follow up later.

Is it a provincial ticket, maybe just throw in the garbage.

I'd be ticked off also.

Thanks for the heads up

I got one as well. My buddy said everyone parked there got one. Btw one pike for us over 2 days of fishing.

uh, maybe patrol and ticket vehicles in the lot every day???

Well I just called the Town's recreation dept and it appears the lot does belong to the Tip of the Bay marina. Even though it is not posted. I recommended that he look into this.

 

I am still on the fence about paying this as I was only there 6 hours and they are billing for 2 days.

[mike rousseau]

Thanks David. You're always helpful.

Heh ... you should see what they charge at the airport

If that was the case, parking in the lot that belongs to the old Tip of The Bay building. That has nothing to do with the ramp parking lot or street.

The trucks parked on the side of the road pointing uphill got tagged as well. Only those few who fit into the ramp parking lot did not.

Well I am curious as to what happens this weekend. I have been watching the posts on another site. This should be interesting.

 

Good fishing everyone, looks like decent weather on the way.
