GROSSE POINTE NEWS, JULY 30, 2009 NEWS CITY OF GROSSE POINTE Sunday parking free Deck open for shoppers ByBradLindberg Staff WMter Peter Dame has been an assistant city manager in suburban Chicago and now manages,- the City ; of Grosse Poirite. If there's one thing he's learned, it's this: "Everybody loves free parking." Accordingly, everybody now can park for free on Sundays in the Village municipal parking garage. The policy rebuffs a parking consultant who said three years ago the city should charge for parking seven days per week, day and night. "Consultants aren't always right," Dame said. "We sometimes have to adjust to circumstances." Those circumstances were brought about by Trader Joe's, located in Kercheval Place next to the parking structure on St. Clair. The store since April has been giving customers three hours of free parking in the garage. "This allows people visiting the Village to visit multiple locations in the Village and then obtain free parking by shopping at Trader Joe's," Dame said. "It has greatly increased the number of people parking in the garage." Yet, store officials said the promotion put them at a disadvantage because no where else in the district on Sunday were people required to pay to park. City officials leveled the playing field this month at no projected cost. "Sundays are usually the lowest revenue-producing days of the month," Dame said. "The use of the parking structure has increased sufficiently since the validation system has begun to offset the loss of revenues from Sunday collections." GROSSE POINTE SHORES Kayak racks being considered ByBradLindberg Staff Writer With summer half over, it's doubtful that kayak racks will be installed this year at Grosse Pointe Shores' municipal park. Until racks are in place, residents can bring their kayaks to Osius Park and leave them on site, according to City Manager Brian Vick. "The rack is a work in progress," he said. Progress is in the planning stage. Planning is being governed by the budget, which is tight. Vick hoped to install metal racks of the type at Grosse Pointe Farms Pier Park. "We priced that out," he said. "It was a couple thousand dollars, something that wasn't necessarily in the budget." "Brian and I thought that was a little high, especially at this time," said Jim Cooke, Shores park director.
