I believe [Mayor Cranley] will do whatever it takes to
secure his precious on-street parking for Mr. Haines.


"Mayor Cranley requested City Manager Scott Stiles delay awarding a contract after meeting with local business owner Tim Haines, who purchased a vacant building located at 2145 Central Parkway in 2012 for $230,000."

"His building now houses 65 employees from 12 different businesses including his own, Relocation Strategies. Haines has become a mouthpiece for the opposition to the bikeway -- though he adamantly states he is not against the lane; he is just against the project's current incarnation as it affects Central Parkway near his business, which utilizes 500 feet of on-street, unmetered parking, which translates to 30 parking spaces."

""If parking wasn't an issue, I would open up my arms and welcome the bike path," Haines says. "Parking for my 65 tenants is in jeopardy. As a business owner I have to fight for my tenants. ... Could they park and walk a quarter of a mile? They could, but that's not what they signed up for when they moved in.""

"Haines has a 16-space parking lot adjacent to his building that some of his tenants use and also owns a parking lot across the street that is in disrepair. Haines says he already cleared it of underbrush to cut down criminal activity and disposed of dozens of tires and beer bottles. He says it would cost up to $300,000 to upgrade the lot."
