State of (no) Grace
updated: Aug 30, 2012, 8:35 PM

By Mesa Jim

...and this afternoon I noticed a neon green sign at Ledbetter beach parking lot that says "Charge on entry $3.00". What happened to the 15 minute grace period they used to offer?

That's "Charge on Entry" for a special event, in this case "Nite Moves" to allow for unrestricted flow out at end-of-event. I believe yesterday's was the last of the season.

They allowed a free 15 minute drop off time this summer when my daughter was going to camp. They were very nice about it.

This was Thursday around 4PM that I saw the sign, so it wasn't for Nite Moves. There was no other special event, either. Weird.

"No Event"? How about the start of the SBCC school year?

I would hazard a guess that it costs too much to monitor the "state of grace" of users who take advantage of these little niceties until they feel entitled to them.

I went there recently to eat at the Shoreline Cafe and had to pay $3 on entry at 5:30 pm; the gate was up when I left. No "grace period" was offered.
