Hello. Tonight I want to discuss an issue that was brought up on local access TV a couple of days ago. Michael Veitch and David Menzies, in reviewing the RUPCO-related articles and letters in the Woodstock Times, got around to discussing the time the doctor at Playhouse Plaza rented his office.
Whether Menzies was on the planning board then, or at another time, I don't know, but they pointed out that the doctor was supposed to have provided a sort of valet parking arrangement for his patients, since parking at Playhouse Plaza was already tight. That was the planning board's decision, or solution. Something like that.
Menzies and Veitch's discussion reminded me of this, since I first learned about that chapter in Playhouse Plaza Parking history from the doctor himself. About three months ago, I was out photographing cars parked on the north side of Route 212. The doctor started to complain about the cars, and I told him that I agree with him, and then we got to talking about his lease and the valet parking arrangement by which he was supposed to have abided.
What all this says is that the planning board is well aware of the surfeit of cars at the Playhouse Plaza parking lot. Having already considered the problem of one single merchant, there, bringing about a very inconvenient and complicated parking solution, how can they explain their blindness to Creighton Manning's omission of all the cars in this parking lot, in the RUPCO traffic study?
Seems to me the planning board simply didn't think, much.
