Walsh,173 Queen St. E., Toronto,Ontario M5A 1S2.From Page 1because the parks and recreationcommission wants to beautify theroadside of Centennial Park."It was a bit of a fiasco," saidFast Foto & Video owner BillWebster. His business was"dead" between 10:30 am and 2pm Saturday — normally a busyperiod. The day's total cashintake indicated there had beenless busirfess."I guess I lost at least ahundred dollars."Many of those who did arrivereferred to the access problem,Webster said. "Nobody could getin or out." The problem wascompounded by at least one publicvehicle which parked across thelot's regular exit.D and D News also felt thepinch. Co-owner Dorothy Clarksaid Saturday's business wasdown. "I don't know why ourbusiness should go down becauseof the market."Clark and Websterboth thoughtthe market stalls and vehicleswould be pushed back against theCRD-owned half of the lot alongsidethe park."No one told us our parkingwould be gone," Clark said.There are conflicting interpretationsof who may use the lot onSaturdays between 5 am and 2pm. Bill McBay is owner ofGasoline Alley and the southernmosthalf of the lot which runsalong the storefront. He said anagreement between him and theCapital Regional District (whichadministers the parks and recreationcommission), signed last fall,allows him 10 feet of parkingalong the front of the stores onSaturdays."There should be enoughspace for cars to go through."Gasoline Alley tenants knew ofthe farmers' market relocationbecause he has been negotiatingwith the parks commission forsome time, McBay said. Hedismissed Saturday's bottleneckas a startup problem which wouldbe solved by a stern word fromthe parks commission. "It needsto be policed."However, the parks commissionerassigned responsibility forthe issue says the lot is solely forthe use of the market vendors onSaturday. "It is closed to thepublic," said Phil Hume. The10-foot buffer zone is to allow forfire or health vehicles and is notto be used by plaza shop ownersor their customers, he said.Humperdink's By The Sea restaurantmanager Bea Ellis saidshe knew the parking would bereserved solely for the marketvendors.Hume will attend this Saturday'smarket to prevent thebottleneck problem.The lot is owned by the CRDalong the north and by McBayalong the south. Joint ownershipof one large lot (instead of twosmaller ones ) allows 90 degreeparking spaces, more turningspace and separate entrance andexit lanes.The CRD agreement withMcBay may conflict with anIslands Trust zoning bylaw whichcovers the shops in the plaza. Itstates there must be one spaceper 248 square feet of retail shopspace, and one spot per everythree seats in restaurants. Thereare three restaurants and fourshops along the lane.This is not possible if theSaturday market has sole use ofthe lot. "The parking permittedon McBay's property is supposedto be for the people (merchants)dealing with him," explainedIslands Trust planner Dave Morris.The market vendors will renttheir spaces from the parkscommission as of April 1, Humesaid. The money is to pay for agardener for Centennial Park.The farmers' market usuallyhelps business by drawing touriststo the area, Rainbow Craftsco-owner Lenora Outerbridgesaid. The store's business wasn'treally affected because most of itscustomers are browsing pedestrians,she said.The market vendors parkedwhere the parks commisssion toldthem to, says market associationsecretary Susan Bradford. Sheagreed it could pose a problem forthe plaza merchants, and said themarket vendors preferred theirold roadside location.Outerbridge and partner PhyllisFetherston are concerned byrumours that the Capital RegionalDistrict, (through the parks andrecreation commission), andMcBay, the lot's co-owners,would open the area to midweekvendors.This Week in RecreationSOCCER:SENIOR INTRA-ISLAND: 9 am—Cardinals vs Fulford Fillies. 10 am—Kicks vs Lazers, Hornets vs Fury, Blue Bombers vs Stingers. 11 am—Hawks vs Sharks.JUNIOR INTRA-ISLAND: 9 am—Firebirds vs Demons; Panthers vsEagles.VOLLEYBALL: Beach Bum Volleyball Tournament sponsored by SaltSpring Swimming Pool Society & Salt Spring Volleyball Assn.
