Canton parking ticketing starts next week

Parking scofflaws beware: Canton’s long-on-hold downtown parking enforcement program will start Nov. 10.

Police will start enforcing two-hour parking limits and other restrictions along Main and North streets. Enforcement had been planned to start Oct. 1, but was held up for several weeks due to a downtown streetscape project.

Police spokesman Pacer Cordry says the fines will start at $10 and escalate from there. He says around 450 warning tickets were issued during the October portion of the grace period, with more than 500 handed out in September.
