On Tuesday evening, January 17, the Board of Commissioners voted to suspend the MainStrasse Parking Plan. The change was made in efforts to accommodate the growing area and to help alleviate parking issues experienced in MainStrasse.

Specific changes include the removal of all residential parking in MainStrasse and Mutter Gottes, the reinstatement of two-hour street parking on Main Street between 5th and 7th Street, three hour parking in the 501 Main Lot, unless a free business or residential pass is acquired, and free parking in the lot between Pershing Avenue and 7th Street.

Bakewell Street will remain a one-way street. Valet parking in front of Lisse will not be impacted by the suspension of the parking plan.

Residents who have purchased residential parking passes will be fully reimbursed by the City.  Checks will be mailed to their homes.
