LETTERS: Parking meters destroy esthetic of lakefront

I wonder if I am the only person concerned with the esthetics of Lakeshore Drive?

I wonder if I am the only person concerned with the esthetics of Lakeshore Drive if parking meters and/or ticket spitters are placed on our lakefront?

They wouldn’t be too noticeable during the height of summer, but what about the other 40 weeks of the year?

As I drove by the lakefront today I tried to envision what it would look like. An industrial look is the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps someone with the time and software could Photoshop a rendition for us? Perhaps city council could start their experiment on Skaha, in the area around their pet waterslide?

The people that can afford to use the waterslide could surely afford the pay parking.

Leave the gorgeous Okanagan waterfront alone.
