Parking Meter Boost Urged for Manitowoc
Manitowoc Safety Traffic and Parking Commission backs higher fees for both on and off street metered parking plus leased space rentals and hooded meter leases. The panel says current revenue barely covers expenses and downtown improvements are limited by funds. Proposals include raising on street rates from five cents per hour to ten cents and off street from five cents for two hours to ten cents for two hours, with higher fees for Friday evenings and Saturdays. The study notes nearby cities charge at least five cents per hour and urges renegotiation of leased space fees to about 4 per month per space.
