 The City of Jackson has decided to extend their free parking on Main Street all the way through the holiday season. The original promotion was from Memorial Day through Labor Day, which would have ended this weekend. Normally, the city bags the meters for the holidays, but it didn’t seem to make sense to remove the “free parking” signs next week, only to have to replace them again at the beginning of the holidays. City Staff also recommended that the nominal citation fee of 11 dollars be extended to 25, as the city is currently missing out on about 80 dollars a day in meter revenue, which could translate into about 25,000 dollars per year. The Jackson City Council voted unanimously to increase the citation amount to 25 dollars for parking over the three-hour time limit, and extend the free parking promotion through January 7th in observance of Serbian Christmas.
