Clarksville Parking Overhaul Set

Clarksville’s city council is poised to overhaul downtown parking by dissolving the Parking Commission and handing enforcement to the police—complete with steeper fines, towing, and stricter meter rules. Councilman Joe Shakeenab backs the move, arguing the current system fails to collect payments and the city should shoulder debt from a new garage. But longtime downtown business owner Jeff Robinson warns the timing is off, saying changes should be led by the next mayor and focus on simplicity for customers. With a July rollout on the table, the council’s decision could reshape how Clarksville manages parking—and whether it’s done right.
