Downtown parking was on the agenda again at Monday night’s Portsmouth City Council meeting. The Council voted unanimously to schedule a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would raise the hourly rate for high demand parking spaces in the Market Square area to $1.50, while keeping others downtown at $1.00 an hour. Several councilors, including Jack Thorsen, Bob Lister, Esther Kennedy and Ken Smith, said they were not in favor of the increases but wanted to get the public’s input before making a final decision.
