Parking right here at the Lansing Center lot could be getting more expensive. I'm your neighborhood reporter Dominic Carroll and there's proposal that could have neighbors paying more to park in certain areas. On Monday, the Lansing City Council received a proposal to raise some parking fees in the city. The proposal would affect locations including the Lansing Center lot, with prices at the lot going from two dollars per hour to three. The idea for a fee increase came from a parking study conducted by the city that took more than a year to complete. I asked a city official about the possible price jump.

"Time to time the administration will consider updating fees across the board whether its parking, code enforcement, building safety, and so forth,"said City of Lansing Director of Economic Development and Planning, Rawley Van Fossen.

We'll let you know if the increases end up being approved. In Lansing, Dominic Carroll FOX 47 News.
