PAGE 25 VOLUME 120,ISSUE 156 Time at the meter could expire sooner than you think City commission may want more change for parking downtown. BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com Parking downtown could become more expensive if the city commission approves city staff's recommendation next Tuesday to increase meter prices, fines and enforcement hours. Proposed changes include increasing meter enforcement to end at 6 p.m. instead of 5 p.m., increasing parking tickets to $3 with a $12 late fee and increasing the cost to park. City staff also recommended that 20 new 15-minute meters be added at the middle and north end of each block along downtown Massachusetts Street. Time limits for meters located along Massachusetts Street would decrease from two hours before and a half hours. SEE PARKING ON PAGE 16 Home Profile Friends Inbox 1 Someone poked you.
