WARSAW — New signs that promote Warsaw’s soon-to-be implemented downtown parking policy have been installed in the downtown business district.
Warsaw City Council recently approved the long-awaited change — the first in decades — and signage that is part of the new system was installed last week across the downtown business district ahead of implementation.
The city said the new policy will begin in April and will include a grace period as motorists adjust to the change.
The new approach is designed to improve access to downtown businesses, increase turnover of parking spaces, and modernize enforcement practices.
Motorists will still be able to park for free for the first two hours, but the new policy establishes fees for additional time in the same parking space.
Enforcement will rely on new technology and processes to manage longer stays and ensure compliance.
Here is a story that recaps the changes.
The city is expected to release more information on the system soon.
