Dickson street didnt have any problems with getting more programs or people to Dickson street untill the WAC started the paid parking and adding on to the WAC wont attract more people . Most people come to Dickson street for the restourants and bars not musicals ,arts or plays .This sounds more like it will hurt other businesses just to please the WAC.
