In the holiday spirit and to encourage support of local businesses, the Port Washington Parking District offered free parking on several streets in town during the month of December. Unfortunately, many parking spaces were being monopolized by local residents, business owners and commuters, thus freezing out potential customers.
Although the district website states a 90-minute limitation on the use of these spaces, this fact seemed neither publicized nor enforced.
Hopefully, next December the 90-minute rule will be clearly posted and effectively enforced to encourage patronage of our local merchants.
