Would changing the parking limit to one hour improve available parking in downtown McMinnville? That measure, among others, will be under consideration.The idea to reduce the parking limit from two hours to one hour on Main Street came from downtown business owners, said Alderman Ryle Chastain, as a way to improve parking conditions if the city moves forward with relocating the Driver Testing Center into City Hall. “I’ve received seven or eight emails from people downtown requesting we consider it,” Chastain said during Tuesday night’s Safety Committee meeting.
