Free Parking up for Council Vote in Englewood

The Englewood City Council is expected to vote Tuesday on a resolution that would waive downtown parking meter fees during the approaching Holiday shopping season.

If approved, the city would offer free parking downtown from Dec. 17 to 29. The move was billed as a way to support local shops through the height of holiday shopping.

Many merchants have welcomed the proposal after they said business took a hit from Superstorm Sandy and utility company gas line work downtown.

The city council will meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Municipal Court
