Reduce Parking Space Width in Oxford Downtown
An Oxford councilman proposes narrowing current downtown parking spaces to add up to 38 extra stalls. He says five years ago parking was less crowded and more cars could fit per block, with eight metered blocks yielding about 32 additional spaces. The plan faces strong opposition from the Oxford Federation of Clubs which questions parkland use. Proponents suggest one way traffic, closing sidewalks, and switching to angle parking to gain more space for vehicles.
