CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - The Corvallis City Council has approved the expansion of parking districts in the city, but shot down a citizen petition to allow the public draw new districts instead of the council.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times reports (https://bit.ly/1g530k9 ) the plan include expanding the current three parking districts to seven zones that would ring Oregon State University.
The council voted to call for the city to negotiate with OSU on paying to assist the city with its neighborhood parking concerns.
The university was displeased with the move. A spokesman says he is disappointed and says the measure was passed “in the dark of the night.”
OSU objected strenuously when the council attempted to force OSU to pay for an additional police officer as part of last year’s local option levy.
