LAFAYETTE â An increase in parking rates along the streets of downtown Lafayette is catching many local businesses off guard.
In effect on Tuesday, parking rates have gone up from fifty cents per hour to one dollar per hour. I think that s ridiculous, says Robin McMillan, worker at Creative Spaces Gallery in Downtown. Times are hard enough right now, we don t need to be going up on other stuff to cost people more money.
