Today's Poll!Proposed parking program withdrawn
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
An ordinance for a proposed downtown residential parking program has been withdrawn from the City Council agenda, after a number of area residents expressed concerns throughout the past month.
The proposed program would allow residents of downtown apartments to park in any metered spot without payment, though a $20 monthly fee would be required after five years of the pilot program.
The city held a public forum on the proposed program last week, after which staff said it was clear the program needed more work.
“We have had quite a bit of conversation on it,” said Third Ward Councilman and bill sponsor Bob Scrivner. “There’s enough, I’m going to say, controversy still involved.”
