by Andrea RuseOn-street parking meter rates will increase from 75 cents to $1.25 per hour as a result of action taken by the City Council Tuesday night. The council also acted to extend meter enforcement hours by two hours. Morning enforcement will be pushed back from 9 a.m. to 8 a.m. Evening enforcement will be extended from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.The rate increase will be effective June 1. The longer enforcement hours will be implemented sooner, as soon as staff is able to change signage.







I’ll take the extended meter hours over higher rates, but would rather see the revenue goes toward transportation options instead of car parking.
