FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Comments on Proposed Parking System Changes
Being Accepted Through Sunday
DECATUR – The City of Decatur will be accepting survey comments on proposed changes to the city’s downtown parking system through 2 p.m. Sunday.
The survey is available online at www.decaturil.gov and comments can also be sent via email to myopinion@decaturil.gov. To date a total of 38 people have either taken the survey or sent email responses and surveys may only be taken once per respondent (or computer).
The survey results will be compiled and forwarded to the Decatur City Council, which will hold a study session on the topic on Monday, Feb. 1. The parking discussion will take place during a study session, meaning that no final decision will be made regarding the issue.
The City has been working to address downtown parking issues for some time now in an effort to provide additional parking options for employees/residents who work or live in the area while freeing spaces in the downtown core area for retail and restaurant consumers. Just as important has been a need to improve enforcement efforts for motorists who choose to not follow established parking rules while visiting Downtown Decatur.
