Indianola officials address people's concerns on small parking spaces
People in Indianola are saying that the parking spaces in the town square are too small and that there are not enough parking spots available. This comes as residents get accustomed to the newly revitalized downtown.
One Facebook post that details those concerns has more than 200 comments.
City leaders tell KCCI that they haven't received any formal complaints about the problems.
"I have not received any complaints about it at all," said Indianola City Manager Charlie Dissell.
Dissell says that the new parking spots are exactly how they're supposed to be.
"The parallel spots are all 9 feet wide by 22 feet long, and the angled spots are all 9 feet by 18 feet long," Dissell said.
Dissell applauds people for their patience as the square slowly comes together.
Growing pains are a part of building a growing city and Dissell shares he believes Indianola is headed in the right direction.
"Any project that you do there's always a little bit of pushback and maybe some divisiveness on the project in the community," Dissell said. "We're starting to hear a lot more positive feedback on the improvements we've been putting in."
