Every city has a parking problem
Miles City, MT has a parking problem.
Who doesn’t?
Miles City has a posted two-hour parking limit on Main Street downtown. Now the city has decided to enforce it.
The City Council agreed at a special flood-plain meeting Saturday to have police begin enforcing the limit starting Tuesday morning.
Mayor Joe Whelan said the issue surfaced a few months ago because a business owner complained that employees were using spaces in front of her business that were meant for customers. Whelan says police responded, issuing tickets to those in violation.
The city then received calls from business owners and employees complaining they were caught unawares. At that point, Whelan says, he asked police to suspend enforcement until the issue could be discussed by the council.
Is there a business district ANYWHERE that doesn’t have a problem with business owners complaining about employees parking on the street in spaces which should be used by customers?
ANYWHERE?
