Parking at transit park and ride lots on weekends and evenings could once again be free, after council approved looking at a change to its new rates.
The vote, just hours after the new $3 parking fee went into effect at three lots this morning, would leave in place the weekday charges.

Quote:

You mean the "Park and Ride Maintenance/Security Budget", right?!? Glad they have to "make up" for this in the budget - already spending cash they don't even have yet...
