Dear Editor,
What was the thought process that went into selecting the GRA location in Camp Street and was taxpayer convenience a consideration in this decision?
I recently visited the ‘new’ GRA location to get a TIN for my daughter. My frustration started even before I was able to enter the building. There was absolutely no parking available to taxpayers. The busy Camp Street area was overcrowded with vehicles on both sides.
After ten minutes of circling the area I noticed a GRA parking lot, but when I tried to park there the guard told me I couldn’t because that lot is reserved for the staff only. Much to my frustration I had to continue looking for a spot. I finally got one close to Church Street.
Is this fair to taxpayers? Is it safe for me to have to leave my vehicle unattended so far away? What does the GRA, with all the millions of dollars they collected last year plan on doing about the parking situation? I hope the powers that be at the GRA can answer my questions.
Yours faithfully,
Nadia Burke
