The council unanimously approved a proposal to convert a stretch of East College Street between Washington and Wall Streets from one-way to two-way traffic with no parking on either side.
The council was met with objections from property owners who thought the removal of on-street parking would adversely affect their rental properties.
I imagine rent prices may drop in the area now that tenants have no place to park their cars. Either that or the landlords will have to build a parking lot or otherwise provide parking for their them. I cannot imagine any resident of Carbondale willing to rent a place to live that did not have someplace provided to park an automobile and it is not the city's job to provide it.
