“I’m not for six-hour parking only because there’s a bus stop there,” said Cunha. We’ve dealt with this issue before. It’s over. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put six-hour parking near a bus stop and it would affect businesses who have already complained to me about it before.”
The parking zone will remain with a two-hour limit. See the complete story by clicking here.
