Three changes considered for parking

The City Council is considering three proposed changes to parking ordinances. The first involves increasing the two-hour time limit for on-street parking to three hours. The second would increase the price of all on-street parking from $1 per hour to $1.50 per hour. The third would implement a “first hour free” program at the High-Hanover Parking Garage, which currently charges 75 cents per hour. A public hearing must be held before any changes are made.
