Confusing Downtown Parking Signs in Amherstburg: A Disgraceful Situation

On Friday, June 7, I emailed CAO Critchley and copied council members.

Is this funny? this is disgraceful; the attached photo was taken yesterday. the downtown is littered with these open air signs that do not even look like they can be enforced, even if people can read the fine print. this can be extremely confusing for people with disabilities trying to park only to encounter a sign disallowing them to park in a legitimate accessible parking space.

please confirm that this particular sign will be removed.

An August 2022 post showed the contradictory signs downtown.

Parking But No Parking Signs in Amherstburg

Downtown Amherstburg signs during ‘Open Air’ weekends are confusing. This is a no parking sign in a no parking zone in front of the post office that you can’t get to anyway.

This sign contradicts itself: no parking Friday at 3 pm but you can park until 6 pm Friday. Neither has any by-law number stated.
