SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Scranton business owners and residents have dodged a proposed parking fee hike.
City council rejected a proposal Tuesday night that would have raised metered parking rates and extended enforcement hours across the city, including on Saturdays.
Over 400 DUI arrests made during checkpoints
The "No" vote came after a strong community turnout.
For now, the plan is off the table, but it's not necessarily gone for good. Council could propose it again at a future meeting if they choose to revisit the issue.
