BLOOMSBURG -- At Bloomsburg's town council meeting Monday, council voted to increase the prices of parking meters on Main Street and Market Square from 25 cents per hour to 50 cents per hour.
The Bloomsburg police chief says parking meter rates have not increased since 1978 but costs have gone u,p so they felt the need to increase.
Also the town would like to increase the turnover of the parking spaces.
The chief expects the rate increases to take effect next month.
All other parking meters in the town are not affected.
