Arlington Heights parking fees going up
Arlington Heights officials are reminding drivers of new parking rates for village-owned garages and lots that will go into effect on Oct. 1, and for those who buy October-December quarterly permits that go on sale Sept. 1.
Daily commuter fees will increase from $1.50 to $2; monthly fees from $30 to $40; 24-hour residential permits from $40 to $50; new nonresident monthly commuter permits from $30 to $50; and reverse overnight commuter permits from $40 to $50. Fees are also expected to go up by from $5 to $10 a month for downtown residents and businesses at Hancock Square, Dunton Tower, AT&T and Arlington Towne Square.
The village board approved the new fee structure last month to help plug a $370,000 annual deficit in the village parking fund. The fees had been unchanged for 12 years.
