Wow is that right no parking on the west side.I live right by there and would always go up after work, park, fish for a couple then go home it was beauty.I know last year i was given a warning ticket but nothing after that.Has any one found out why mission is taking this step.Think about it it's really going to slow things down up there and everyone is going to have to park at the bc hydro lol.This i'm going to have to see.

I think it's great that they have no parking signs along the westside of Wilson now. I'm a long time resident of the area and it was becoming a complete ZOO....too many people not respecting the area and it's residents, as well as a disrespect for nature...all the littering, McDonalds bags and Tim Horton cups....it was just a few years ago that there would be a handful of fisherman in the area, and a few parked cars were not a problem but, last fall it was just sick how many vehicles were parked there, u couldn't find a parking spot even on a weekday.....I didn't go fishing to stress out about parking issues....

Sounds about right, that is the way they do things in Mission:

The mayor goes on a national sport fishing show and tells everyone how good the bass fishing is in Mission and Joe public can't launch a boat on either of the lakes.

The mayor put a two page feature story in the local paper about a major water front development and opening the doors to industry to bring jobs to town. Then council cuts the lease to the towns major employer, shuts the door on on a bunch of other companies that want to open shop in the industrial park.

So removing the parking on the west side of the Stave? Yup that is about right for this town. I loath the day I talked into buying in Mission. As far as I'm concerned I would be the first person to say "Do it here!" If the government were to as for suggestion on a nuclear testing site. I mean there would not be any brain cells lost here.
