BURLINGTON, ON
Every once in a while a local governing authority does something that is just plain welcome.
Thousands of people have driven up into escarpment country to enjoy a walk along a part of the Bruce Trail or spend some time on Mt Nemo – but there isn’t any place to park other than the side of the road.
So they park on the side of the road and the parking police drive by and issue parking tickets. That has changed there is now a parking lot.
It is located at the corner of Walkers Line and #2 Side road and is part of Mt Nemo Conservation Area.
The lot will accommodate approximately 25 cars. There will be parking fees.
These fees will be consistent with the rest of the parks at $6.75/adult and $5/child.
The road realignment and parking lot construction is to be completed by the end of July.
The parking lot is currently open on weekends. Fees will not be required until later this year or early 2018.
It’s about time!
This is good news. It should have happened a long time ag.
