WHEATON, IL — New parking rules are in effect in downtown Wheaton as of July 1, with the aim of making it easier for employees to park downtown. Drivers will notice timed signs that were installed as part of the change.
Customers who park in downtown Wheaton will have a three-hour time limit in "customer parking" areas between 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
