Parking study begins

At the Town Board work session Tuesday night, planning officials introduced members of a new citizen committee that will help study parking downtown. The town also has hired parking consultants Rich & Associates to help conduct the study.

Rich & Associates representatives are in town this week through Saturday looking at parking and traffic patterns and meeting with local officials, residents and business owners. Theyll be looking at the number of available parking spaces, parking turnover, and signage that points drivers and pedestrians to parking, shopping, and dining.
