New pedal boats with red canvas top covers (retractable)are now docked on Lake Carolyn at Las Colinas. You rent by the hour and can pedal into the canals and follow the canals under the bridges and come back out on the lake.Or,you can come back the way you came into the canals. The disturbing thing about all of this is that there is a sign posted that requires you to get a license from Dallas County Water Reclamation for "commercial" photos. Just so happens, there is a little photography business at the beginning of the canals on the west side of Las Colinas Blvd. Hum! Sounds a bit like a money-grabbing scheme if there ever was one.And here is the kicker. It's a permit--not a license fee--good only for the day that you are shooting pictures and the one-time use permit cost a whopping $50.00!
Paul, the Administration Manager at Dallas County Utility and Reclamation District was still out to lunch at 2:10 PM and not available for additional information.
I'd like to post a picture of the new boats but I am a senior citizen and I've been warned by the AARP not to fall for schemes such as this against senior citizens. In lieu of the boats, I took a picture of the sign posted by the DURD!
