Businesses in tight spot over parking problems
By Rylan Boggs
Blue Mountain Eagle
A dispute over parking
has arisen in John Day’s
downtown district.
Tasha Marciel, owner
of Cutting Edge Salon and
East Oregon Homegrown
Vinyl, claims all of the
parking in front of her busi-
ness on Dayton Street is be-
ing used by T&H Auto and
other proprietors.
She requested that the
John Day City Council
consider implementing a
one- to two-hour parking
restriction in the downtown
area, specifically the west
side of Dayton Street. The
council did not immediately
dismiss the idea but instead
said they would communi-
cate the problem to T&H as
a third party.
“I don’t want to shut my
doors because my clients
aren’t coming to see me.”
Marciel said.
She added that some of
her clients are elderly, mak-
ing parking a significant
factor in where they get
their hair done.
Marciel says she and
her employees have started
parking elsewhere to leave
room for customers but
have seen vehicles in var-
ious states of repair wait-
ing to be serviced at T&H
parked on the street for sev-
eral days.
T&H Automotive owner
George Hamsher says that
he tries to bring vehicles
in nightly, and when they
are waiting to be repaired
he tries to keep them away
from other businesses. He
said he brings all the cars
in off the street on week-
ends to provide more park-
ing for the nearby church
and would work to provide
more parking for the salon.
“I will do everything in
my power to make sure we
respect the request,” Ham-
sher said.
Hamsher said a recent
hail storm in Monument
has resulted in an uptick in
business, which has resulted
in less available parking.
