MADISON, Wis. — A proposal for paid parking in public lots went through its second phase of approval on Nov. 12.
The City of Madison Parks Division released a statement Thursday about having people pay for parking at public lots.
It is described as a “concept” that is set to be a “short-term, small scale experiment,” and that its input and output shared by community members will be evaluated in early 2026.
City of Madison considers charging parking fees in public lots
MADISON, Wis. — If you frequent Camp Randall on game days, Henry Vilas Zoo or any of Madison’s public parks, you may have more parking meters in your future.
With the election last week, there was a referendum that approved a raise in property taxes to keep city services like the park system afloat. Channel3000 spoke with District 6 Alder Marsha Rummel, a sponsor of the proposed parking fee plan.
“It won’t be a wholesale, big change. It would just be a trial to see how it worked,” said Rummel.
