It was nice while it lasted but the free parking honeymoon is over in the lot just west of City Hall.

Word from the City today (Monday) tells us that the parking pay station for that lot has been repaired and reactivated.  So, effective Tuesday morning January 23rd you must use the pay station in order to legally park in the lot.  Fees are in effect from 8 am til 5 pm Monday through Friday.

The machine allows parking for up to five hours per vehicle.
