NEGAUNEE — On Monday, the Negaunee Downtown Development Authority made an announcement regarding parking regulations in the city.

“In the coming weeks, the next phase of parking measures will be put in place in Downtown Negaunee,” the release states. “Although these ordinances have been in place for many years, both signage and enforcement have been nearly non-existent.

“Now that more businesses are in downtown, some measures must be taken to ensure these fair parking regulations are adhered to:

• The DDA will send a letter to businesses requesting that employers and their employees utilize off-street parking lots to allow for better customer access to both Iron and Jackson Streets.

• Two-hour parking limit signs (Between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.) will be placed along both Iron and Jackson streets in the coming weeks.

• The city will continue its plans for improving parking lots when possible.

• Continuous review of parking measures will take place to facilitate improved parking programs and policies.
