Parking, downtown parking. A problem, or not?
Parking changes are on the agenda for the Town Council on Wednesday. These came up through the Economic Development Subcommittee with a 3-1 vote to recommend to the Council.
There are 4 separate but integrated bylaws to cover the changes proposed.
The first reading is Wednesday. The bylaws can be voted to move as is, or with modification(s) to a second reading. The second reading would come at a future Council meeting. Implementation would take some months of preparation before they would actually be in effect (assuming they are approved).

Note: The Dean College neighborhood parking issues are not on this agenda. With the new administration at Dean, the idea is to let them form their talked of/proposed neighborhood group to start and work to address the issue.
