The Fox River Grove Board of Trustees on March 15 approved Ordinance 2022-06 to raise commuter parking at the Metra lot from $1.50 to $2.00 and amended the ordinance to make electronic and app payments $2.00 as well.
Administrator Soderholm told the Board the increase would align Fox River Grove with surrounding municipalities and noted the current parking-app price is $1.87, which reflects the $1.50 fee plus a $0.37 application charge. Trustee Steve Knar said the rates should match and moved to amend the ordinance so the app/electronic payment equals $2.00; Trustee Jennifer Curtiss seconded the motion.
