Galena Officials Take Steps To Increase Parking

Galena City Council members have taken steps to address downtown parking issues. Actions approved by the Galena City Council include increasing the daily parking rate for city parking lots from $5 to $10, hiring a community service officer to enforce street parking limits and developing additional parking spaces. The moves come after months of discussions among city officials about how to address downtown parking, which is often in short supply due to the large number of out-of-town motorists.
