Milwaukee Parks to Test Parking Fees | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Milwaukee County Parks is reviving its plan to charge for parking in high-traffic spots like the lakefront and American Family Field, aiming to close a $50 million budget gap by generating revenue and encouraging smarter use of park space. After shelving the idea a decade ago due to accessibility concerns, officials now frame it as a pilot program—with QR code payments and fees of $2–$4—to fund upkeep, reduce congestion, and prevent parking lot parties. The proposal heads to the County Board in September, with potential cuts looming if no new funding arrives. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
