Waterfront harmony

To go west is easier and maybe use Princess Point to rent Bikes, blades and personal powered watercraft. The locals or Western residents could use princes point access (All free parking).
I didn't mean to close the marinas just tighten it up. Streamline it, build out and modernize. The Leander is a great size place and we need the RH sailing for the future. Just relocate the boat storage between Pier4 and Bayfront parks. And get rid of that huge warehouse across from Williams Coffee.
Williams is way overpriced and needs competition. Open a few hot dog carts or a classy chip wagon (is that possible) or at least something until permanent business is established.
When we have family from out of country a harbour ride and a ice cream is nice with a breeze off the water with a view of Burlington.
maybe set up a helicopter pad towards HMCS Star or Haida and offer harbour flights.
The boat people are very important, and i have heard of some people who buy a boat and use it like a cottage. Imagine $50,000 for a boat and a couple thou to dock it. plug it in and you have a home on the water.
No driving to speak of and all the advantages.
Sure beats a 2-3 hr drive to the cottage and pay taxes or a lease in Sauble.
We should have more house boats!
