Opinions Aired On How to Extend Parking Facilities
Winchester faces downtown parking jams and debate over remedies. The Star backs dedicating meter receipts to off street parking, with merchants and the Chamber supporting study and possible funds. Council members favor varied options including garages and phased financing rather than a single dedicated fund. Mayor Clowe opposes a one fund approach and cites expansion plans and possible loans or bonds. James R. Wilkins leads a discussion group on the topic.
