Business Gets Change To La Grange Parking Limit
An increase in tickets is what prompted the change, the village president said.
LA GRANGE, IL – La Grange officials have acknowledged that parking is an issue on the West End. On Monday, they agreed to a change in the rules.
On sections of Brainard and Arlington Avenues, the Village Board voted to extend the parking time limit to two hours, up from one.
That request came from The Local Workout, a gym at 806 W. Arlington Ave., according to the village.

Because the gym's classes last about an hour, patrons are parking beyond that time, coming in early and leaving a few minutes afterward, Village President Mark Kuchler told the board.
"Our ticketing has gone up, and that's what prompted the request," Kuchler said.
