@OP

I DID NOT mean get up earlier and drive to the GO station.

Get up earlier.
Take a bus to the GO station.


I suggested that you get up earlier and take a bus instead.
You spend about as much on gas as would on bus fare.
You may even discover that you can get by on one less vehicle altogether.

LOL. This town HATES cars.

Even when we're trying not to use them by taking mass transit.

Some people think it's acceptable to make using mass transit as inconvenient as possible.

Others think anyone driving to the GO station is lazy and sleep-addicted. They couldn't possibly have other errands to complete every morning, like dropping off kids and whatnot.

The other two people are us. In Milton, the struggle is real.

This town needs a hero.

Move over, Barb!!! Ken Bone is in town and hes going to fix things the right way - and then make love to his wife, before drinking a glass of milk and settling down for 8 hours of restful sleep.

Have you guys visited the GO parking lot? Drive by anytime after 8am. You'll see the 100.


Today had lots of empty parking spaces well after 8am
Course it means you need to walk farther

There will be no more multilevel car park for milton GO. All the money was spent in last few years for parking lots and thats it for probably another 5 years. Once hell breaks lose and more trains are put on from milton, (which they cant because CNR owns the rail line and wont give up more rail time to GO), then maybe they will build a high rise parking lot. But as you may have heard, the gov is looking at charging a levi for parking at all strip plazas and malls when shopping! So GO will soon get funny ideas as well i bet.

Why not just take the nearly empty Milton transit to GO instead of crying about spots?

Because many people in this stupid ass town have kids requiring daycare, making this not feasible.

Business idea! Mr. Peppermints before and after daycare kid-watching service! Fill that niche!

To be clear
They buy a home with a single car driveway then complain not enough space to park
They breed and have kids who are incapable of finding daycares within walking distance from their homes and need to be driven across town
Then they arrive late at the GO station, complain the spots that are left are so far to walk from, and instead park illegally
So the answer is to come online and complain about all the tickets they get for overnight parking and illegal parking at the GO lots?

Maybe if your economic situation is this poor you should not be considering home ownership
Just a thought
Instead of blaming town planning they should shoulder some of this poor foresight themselves instead of camping out and throwing cheques at builders

As to your idea, there are a few daycares within walking distance from GO lot as well, so bring kid on Milton bus, leave at daycare, then take the train

Whatever man. People are just trying to make it all work. Sometimes not everything goes according to some perfect plan.

Never have problems. That's the moral of the story. Glad it's working out for ya. Empathy isn't all that terrible should you discover it someday.

"Work" implies some sort of planning
Trying to fight the bylaws is a total lack of foresight

We already changed the onstreet parking from 3 to 5 hours because of the lower classes whining
I'd rather we look more like York and less like Peel

Guys and gals ,

I got a parking ticket today while I was legally parked in a actual parking spot . Never ever had a ticket before . Who should I be speaking to about this ? I know I have to call the downtown go office . But isn't there in Milton who looks after that parking lot ?

Some think all others in this forum are dumb. How can one get a parking ticket when it is legally parked?
People pretend they are innocent and asking a question.

I am being serious. Not trying to be innocent here . I really don't know how the hell one gets a ticket while parked legally . I took a picture of my car parked in the proper spot and not a imaginary spot along with the ticket. I will be fighting it with go in downtown . But someone in Milton needs to pay attention while they are ha ding out tickets.
