South Loop Parking Meeting on Tuesday



Smilin' Bob's minions were kind enough to send this missive:

The South Loop parking study has been completed and representatives from the consulting firm as well as the Department of Transportation will be presenting their findings at an upcoming community meeting. Parking in the South Loop has so far lagged behind the recent population growth. I urge everyone who owns a vehicle and lives or does business in the South Loop to attend this meeting, as a great deal of information will be presented and community feedback will be necessary.
