Parking But No Parking Signs During ‘Open Air’
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.

Chicano’s Stairs A Barrier To Some Persons With Disabilities
A reader mentioned the Pepper Cat restaurant so I took a short tour of some of the downtown eateries; more photos to follow.
These are stairs to Chicano’s – the food on the website menu looks amazing but I’d have trouble entering.
Concurrent Committee Members
Amherstburg’s Boards and Committees Appointment Policy, enacted September 26, 2011, could use an update but also adherence to the policy.
“PURPOSE OF POLICY
The purpose of the Town of Amherstburg Boards and Committees Appointment Policy is to ensure a fair and equitable appointment process to Town Boards and Committees where:
- The most qualified applicants are appointed as Members; and
- Applicants are representative of Amherstburg’s diverse community with a broad wealth of experience and skills.”
Section 3.4. states Members will not be appointed to more than two (2) Boards or Committees in a Term of Council.
Are Committees representative of a diverse community if concurrent members are appointed and rules are waived?
