Subject: some of us have no choice but park WHERE WE NEED TO

It's real obvious that you dobn't ever park your car at the Cocksville GO station in Mississauga to take the train or buses downtown, but today I came back from work and saw a stupid parking ticket from the GO.

I'm quite chessed because its been obvious for months that this situatation does not have enough parking spots so many people including myself have resorted to find any available space at the ends of the parking lot to park our cars.

So what do they expect to accomplish by this? I took a look at a lot of the cars that were parking in areas that are not originally designated for parking and only in the area that I parked did cars there get ticketed.

further down the lot nobody got ticketed for parking in a non designated area.

The charge is only $25, but it still chesses me. The parking ticket is to be paid to GO office at Union Station, what I wanna know is, will there be any major repurcussions if I decline to pay this money grab attempt?

I about 95% sure that I won't be taking the GO transit anymore. They can have my $25 but they're losing out on the $100+ i spend traveling with them a month going to work.

Hey Amos,

Cocksville GO? Won't ... can't ... should ... not ... make ... dick ... joke.

I can't say I'm an expert on GO parking by-laws, but it's obvious to me that their parking enforcement division has a different way of dealing with parking infractions than say how I would do it, or yourself.

I hope you realize that I don't have a bone to pick with guys like you who are just a squirrel trying to get a nut when it comes to lots that can't accommodate ridership. My issue is with people who straddle two spots, park on an angle or park in such a way that other people can't park properly during the winter months.
