Clarksburg council affirms free downtown parking for December amid construction and elevator outage
Summary
Council voted to continue free downtown parking for December to support holiday shoppers while downtown road work and an elevator outage persist; members debated extending the policy longer but tabled that question for later.
The Clarksburg City Council voted to provide free downtown parking for December, citing ongoing road construction and recent elevator outages that affect downtown accessibility. A council member proposed extending free parking through the construction period, possibly into June, but other members said that longer extensions require more administrative review; the council approved the shorter, December-only measure by voice vote.
Discussion focused on whether on-street meters and other parking areas are covered, how the policy is normally implemented administratively each year, and whether a longer extension should return to council with more detail. One member said the administration typically handles the annual December free-parking practice and suggested tabling broader amendments until staff can clarify meter coverage and construction timelines.
The motion as passed covers downtown metered parking for December; the council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript and did not adopt a long-term policy change during the meeting.
