Stop Paid Parking at the Brantford Train Station Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/stop-paid-parking-at-the-brantford-train-station.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 25 Apr 2026 03:48 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Elizabeth Banuelos [Signature #162] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/15531645?utm_medium=rss Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:02:10 UTC 15531645 Trevor Ford [Signature #161] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13371650?utm_medium=rss Sat, 21 Jul 2012 06:33:01 UTC 13371650 Ms Allison Bowen [Signature #160] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13217508?utm_medium=rss Via seems to have lost sight of the fact that the Brantford Station is unique in that it already generates additional income (and has for a few years now) from the rents paid by the businesses located there. Charging for parking will hurt these businesses as well as Via. Parking fees may cause the loss of these tenants.. and thus a loss of income to Via at this location. There are plenty of coffee shops in Brantford to go to where you don't have to pay to park.. as much as I love the Station Coffee House. I won't be so inclined to go there if I have to pay for parking.

The monthly fee for rail transportation is already quite costly. Paid parking is a money grab and is very poor customer service for long term commuters.

As the customer you are already spending money and supporting the business or service in this case. This will certainly not encourage people to ride VIA. Not a huge fan of the GO but they are smart enough (for now) not to sting riders $4 to be their customer.

I believe that they will lose many patrons if they have to pay for parking. Please exempt those that are patrons. Thank You

Not only will it affect people using the railroad, but it will affect the stoe owners as well. Statistics show that people are less likely to stop and shop at a business where parking charges or time limits are mandatory as opposed to places where additional fees are not applicable. Stores, on location, are a steady stream of money for the railways and thus with which should not be tampered.

It will become a problem when people decide to park in the street instead of the parking lot... just a silly idea, really. Small businesses will suffer. This is not a good idea.

We already host the shows as "Pay What You Can" events, because we recognize that those in Brantford who appreciate music and art, can't necessarily afford to pay to see a show. Paid parking would completely eliminate every one of our good intentions. The music scene in Brantford is already in a pretty sad state, especially considering the extraordinary amount of talent we have.

The amount of revenue this blatant cash grab will generate for VIA is comparatively small, and won't solve any of VIA's problems, but it WILL effectively kill The Station Coffee House and Gallery. Is that what you want? There'll be no government bail out for the family that runs it...
