Fonthill Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Port Colborne launch and bay inside breakwall is clear of ice also noticed a new sign posted at launch Regarding the use of parking machines for 2014 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't know about machines but I did notice a lot of new concrete blocks blocking off the parking that used to be along the park portion of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic4d Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 They put them there last fall, I guess a lot of grass getting ripped up from all the boaters parking straight up from the ramp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundtastic Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 They put them there last fall, I guess a lot of grass getting ripped up from all the boaters parking straight up from the ramp.... Blocks were put in for Flavours or Canal Days. Can't remember which one, like Bic said the grass was taking a beating. Guess this was a cheaper option then paving the lot. Ice was on the North shore past SL point and in the canal yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lundtastic Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Guess that will eliminate the security guard at the ramp. Will be like the CB ramp. Question now is how much? I would assume slip owners won't need to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinfish Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hopefully slip holders don't have to pay as they should have licence plate on file with city or a tag to hang in vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I am guessing the machine is for parking not for launching. How could they charge the launch and leave vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Perfect for us locals! Launch and get wifey to take truck&trailer back home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic4d Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yes hope it's as reasonable as CB, boy so much for me having my dad by another season pass for the boat..(senior price)... Well as long as it's going to be reasonable, it's worth it for sure...... Hey unless Tombo has room for my rig and trailer???? I can supply timmies each morning......??? lol..

Lundtastic Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I am guessing the machine is for parking not for launching. How could they charge the launch and leave vehicles? It states to all ramp users though. Launch and leave would be free just like CB. If you don't get caught by the meter maid you're golden. 5 bucks would be nice but doubtful. I got the senior rate last year too. I would think there would be a seasons pass for the launch just like CB launch ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agree 5 bucks would be nice..... I'd guess the Marina but never know...... Cheers Bic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
