Borough to Discuss Changes in Parking Costs

As part of the West Chester Borough Council’s work session Tuesday night council will hold a public hearing to discuss changing enforcement times for parking meters within the borough.

In order to cover last year’s budget deficit, council approved a measure that would allow parking meters to be enforced until 10 p.m. everyday except Sunday.

Currently, parking meters downtown are only enforced until 5 p.m. 

The measure would also allow the borough to charge for parking in garages on weekends, which is currently free.

Council will also discuss a new initiative to go green.

Currently, Weston Solutions is proposing to provide solar installations at both of the borough’s wastewater treatment facilities. Weston Solutions would also like to convert the Taylor Run facility to natural gas.

Other items on the agenda:

•   Borough Council will hold a public hearing on changes made to the cost of Area C parking permits.
• Council will also discuss gaining access to a building located at 119 North Matlack that has no apparent owner.
• Also on the agenda is the approval for parade and special event permits for the entire year, including: the Turks Head Music Festival, the Restaurant Festival and the Halloween Parade.
