City Council approves changes to downtown parking limits

The Camas City Council last night approved a series of changes to parking time limits in downtown Camas, and the much debated topic is likely to come up again at the annual planning conference in January.

The ordinance establishes 35 spots on Cedar and Birch streets, between Northeast Fifth and Sixth avenues, that will shift from the current six-hour to a new “unrestricted” 72-hour parking time limit. The intent is to give employees of downtown Camas businesses areas to park other than in front of other businesses.
