Parking Meter newport

There are four ordinance changes regarding parking season, rates, and meters that will go in front of Newport City Council on Wednesday night.

I took the show today to discuss and explain those changes recommended by Newport’s City Manager and ask questions from every side on what could soon become the new parking ways across The-City-By-The-Sea.
