Here's what happened at a special meeting called to discuss the matter on Monday.
Several proposals for adjusting parking rates were considered by Canonsburg Council Monday during a special meeting with downtown merchants—even though just two business representatives chose to attend. After 90 minutes of discussion, borough Manager Terry Hazlett said council opted for a pair of possibilities: bagging meters for 45 days or offering tokens to merchants to pass on to their customers. The impact of bagging meters, which was tentatively scheduled for Oct. 1 to Nov. 15, would be assessed by Main Street Manager Nadeen Steffey. Should the tokens option be used, council would have to approve replacing all of its more than 100 meter heads to accept those tokens. Current parking rates in Canonsburg are 50 cents per hour, with free…

The Facebook group was created to revise Canonsburg Council's decision Monday to restrict the placement of Fourth of July Parade chairs to 6 a.m. the day of the holiday.
Within hours of borough council voting to restrict the placement of Fourth of July parade chairs to 6 a.m. the day of the holiday, a Facebook group called Save the Canonsburg Parade Chairs was established. By Tuesday morning, there were almost 90 members. “Please share our page with your friends! Let's get the word out! A petition to modify the chair restrictions will be coming soon!” a post on the page indicated. Reached Tuesday morning, Main Street Manager Nadeen Steffey, who organized the Parade of Chairs contest the last three years, said the reaction to the news on social media sites such as Facebook, though, has been mixed. “A lot of people say it’s not so much the chairs but the rope and the caution tape,” she said. Steffey said she…
