A “work group” of county officials and members of the business and nonprofit community (but no park advocacy groups) have identified 40 “potentially viable locations” for parking meters in parks. Most of the county’s lakefront and other popular parks are targeted. Proposed rates are up to $2 per hour, 13 hours a day, year-round, with possibly one free day a week. The committee is moving to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to enlist a for-profit operator by Feb. 1, 2018.
