Town Board Work Session - Sep 10, 2026
A draft plan would put paid parking in three prime downtown lots — about 608 of 2,881 spaces — at $1.25-$1.50/hour, May through October only, with everything else free. It also includes reserved theater parking via license-plate cameras, restaurant validation, and possibly a free micro-shuttle. Nothing is final; the consultant wants three more work sessions.
