The Abuse of Victoria Park by Ribfest begins ...

Late this morning, circa 11:45 am, August 17, 2010, I was walking my bicycle up through Victoria Park, when I noticed some vehicles parked on the lawn. I went to investigate and photodocument this unsettling situation.

I looked around at the perimeter of the park. There were several empty parking spaces on the streets that perimeter the park that could have been used for parking. Why weren't they used?

By what authority were these motor vehicles driven onto the lawns of Victoria Park and parked there? How does one obtain a permit to be able to drive and park a motor vehicle on park lawns? Who issued the permit? What length of time is covered by the permit. When is the permit effective?

How can Victoria Park be run over roughshod by locals for no necessary reason, especially in an environment when Cobourgers have been expressing outrage over the general abuse of Victoria Park and Beach?

Painters mark turf in Victoria Park for their buds; first name basis, how comfortable is that?
