*************************
I’m a citizen of Barrie and have lived here since 1995 and at that time I always loved the natural beauty of the waterfront.
But unfortunately the last improvements that were done a few years ago have ruined that aspect.
So why make it look more artificial?
I think the Barrie taxpayers' money would be better spent on resurfacing the disgraceful conditions of the city roads.
I know the reason to spend the money on the waterfront is to attract more visitors, but on weekends Barrie families can’t even find a parking space at the waterfront and they’re the ones who have paid for it. All they can do is drive past and watch the visitors enjoy it, so I feel the only improvement needs done to the waterfront is to have a separate citizens parking area.
