Re- parking in Sharbot Lake.

Dennis Dale | Aug 08, 2018

On a recent return to my hometown, Sharbot Lake, I was struck by the traffic in what I used to refer to as "uptown." Cars lined both sides of the street from the old Catholic Church to the top of the hill on Elizabeth Street. Upon commenting to a friend however, I learned that most of the vehicles were owned by employees of the various businesses in the immediate area. I find this rather bizarre, given that the village is so dependent on tourists who would struggle to find a parking space. I also learned that a free parking area at the old fire hall, less than a city block away, was available for uptown employees. The lot was vacant when I drove by. City folk would have to pay for parking and probably have to walk 2 to 4 blocks from their office each day. Oh, to be so fortunate to work in Sharbot Lake.
