The City of Greencastle has announced that the Common Council adopted Ordinance 2022-10 on Nov. 10.

This new ordinance has the following impact on parking along Franklin Street from College Avenue to Indianapolis Road:

• No parking on the south side of the street from College Avenue to Indianapolis Road.

• Parking is allowed in the existing parking bays such as the one just east of City Hall.

• Parking is allowed on the north side of the street.

• The ordinance does not impact existing parking arrangements west of College Avenue.

Weather permitting, the Department of Public Works will be installing “no parking” signs and painting the curb yellow in the designated areas prior to Thanksgiving, Mayor Bill Dory has announced.

Once the areas are marked, the police department will be able to issue tickets for parking violations.

Residents and visitors are asked to no longer park on the south side of Franklin Street.

Travelers along Franklin Street should be aware of the new parking arrangement and should watch for parked cars along he north side of the street. As always, caution should be used when pulling out of cross street intersections or driveways.

  • Sounds good, next we need some signs posted prohibiting semi trucks from Franklin Street. I think they are being lead by GPS in error.
