Business owner urges action on long-term meter parking; council orders stricter enforcement
Summary
A Maple Street shop owner told Montrose council that other businesses' employees are parking at her storefront meters all day; council asked police and parking enforcement to crack down on cars parked beyond two hours and to prevent continuous meter-feeding.
Lisa Updegraff, a Maple Street business owner, told the council that vehicles are regularly parked at meters in front of her store for entire business days and asked that enforcement address the problem. "This has been an on going issue and would like this corrected," Updegraff said.
Council members directed the Parking Enforcement Officer and the Montrose Police Department to monitor meter activity and enforce the two-hour limit; officers were also reminded to intervene if vehicles attempt to 'feed' meters continuously to avoid moving. The council did not adopt a change to meter policy at the meeting; enforcement and monitoring were the immediate remedies ordered.
