Plateau-Mont-Royal Mayor Luc Ferrandez stated clearly that 30 per cent of new revenues resulting from the $1-an-hour rise in meter rates would be invested in revitalizing the Plateau's commercial arteries. This is one reason why leaders of the Plateau's three main merchants' groups, including Michel Depatie and Gordon Bernstein, endorsed the plan enthusiastically after it was announced. Another reason is that in parts of town such as ours where on-street parking is scarce, meters ensure a steady turnover of customers and help prevent cars taking up parking spots outside of businesses all day long.
