Big and Little Deep

The majority of the problems (people littering, barbecuing, and playing loud music) that faced Peekamoose Blue Hole’s swimming area were solved. What Peekamoose did can be used as a blueprint to solve Woodstock’s Big and Little Deep’s problems. For starters, regulate parking with signage, place a sufficient number of receptacles in the area for trash, and remove the rusted 55-gallon drum that is preventing ingress to the Big Deep, replacing it with a gate that is more in tune with the Colony of the Arts.

MOUNTAINVIEW PARKING LOT - LOST REVENUE

According to recent budgets, the estimated annual revenue for parking fees from the Rock City Road parking lot is about 70 Thousand Dollars.  In 2015, the late Jay Wenk, as a member of the Town Board, proposed charging for parking at the Mountain View parking lot. In January of 2020 I pointed out that “way before the 2019 tourist season ended, the parking spots were painted, the handicap parking spots were marked and blacktopped, the fences were installed, and the shrubbery was planted in the parking lot.” To date Mountain View is still not a pay-for-parking lot, that has to change.
