Borough Now Offering Free 2 Hour Parking Until August

The Borough of Ellwood City has generously announced 2-hour free parking on downtown meters through end of August.

This comes after some have voiced concern over the ticketing as an obstacle for those still looking to support small business and restaurants in downtown Ellwood City during the ongoing pandemic.

The official press release from the borough reads as follow:

Free parking is designated at all currently metered spaces located on Lawrence Avenue, Bell Avenue, Crescent Avenue, 5th Street, 6th Street, 7th Street, and the Beaver Avenue parking lot for a maximum of two (2) hours from now through August 31, 2020. Motorists exceeding the 2 hour time limit will be subject to a $5.00 fine if paid within 72 hours. Violators who fail to make payment within 72 hours will be subject to prosecution through the District Justice office.
