Carman Town Council has been contemplating the switch from diagonal to parallel parking along Main Street.

Mayor Murray Rinn says they are installing another lit crosswalk on Main Street which brought on the idea to switch the parking.


Parking north of the bridge was switched to parallel parking when they installed a crosswalk there a while back.


However the reaction to the move was mixed, some were strongly against it and others could understand.


Rinn says the switch would result in 13 lost parking spots, so with the best interests of the businesses in mind they have decided to leave parking as is.
