INDIAN SHORES â The town is adding parking fees for the 14 spaces at Town Square Nature Park at 191st Street and Gulf Boulevard.
The town council on April 13 voted unanimously 5-0 to add a meter to charge $2.50 an hour for the spaces at the park, which offers a signature boardwalk and fishing, picnic areas, and restrooms. Parking is currently free.
Town administrator Bonnie Dhonau said the move would generate $35 an hour in revenue at full capacity. The cost of the new meter is $7,063 and it would take just over 200 full lot hours to recover the cost.
âMost of the people who use these facilities are not residents of Indian Shores,â said Mayor Patrick Soranno.
