NAPERVILLE (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The tradition of commuter parking permits in Naperville at the city's two Metra commuter stations is coming to an end.
The move will transition all parking spaces in Naperville commuter rail lots to daily fee parking, effective January 1, at the city's downtown and Route 59 stations.
The Daily Herald spoke with one Naperville official who is in favor of the move, but sympathizes with regular commuters who currently pay a quarterly fee of $120.
Under the new system, she said regular commuters would pay $300 per quarter in daily fees for the $5 spaces closest to the downtown station. All spots at the Route 59 station would be $2 a day.
The Daily Herald also reported the city will switch to a pay-by-plate system, with weekly and monthly bundle options available.
