Some Tighter Parking Regulations and Higher Merchant Fees for Parking Permits Proposed
|
At this coming Monday’s meeting of the Board of Selectmen, the board will consider a proposal to raise the small annual fee for employee parking on town lots for merchants with stores near the lots. The board will also consider a proposal to limit the amount of time vehicles can be parked at certain spots. Both proposals came from Town Administrator Kathleen Buch in memos dated Sept. 5 and addressed to the town parking authority, which is the Board of Selectmen in Darien. In the memo about merchant fees, Buch wrote:
The merchant parking permit fee has not been raised in over a decade, while we have increased commuter permit fees more than once over that time.
