Merchants push alternate plan to keep downtown parking
The Downtown Merchants Committee of the chamber of commerce approved an alternate parking plan for downtown streets led by Bob Dean. It aims to preserve most downtown parking on Second, Fourth, and adjacent streets while challenging the city ordinance that would eliminate or reconfigure parking on Third Cedar and Eddy Streets. The group formed a coalition to block the ordinance, prompting the city to hold action in abeyance until a June 24 council meeting where the plan will be formally presented.
