New downtown parking regulations go into effect July 14

CHAMPAIGN – Jessica Paris spent Wednesday afternoon with her laptop computer seated outside Cafe Kopi. She's a frequent visitor to downtown Champaign after she gets off work at 3 p.m. from her job at Wolfram Research.

She's no fan of the city's plan to make people pay parking meters downtown until 9 p.m., compared to the current 5 p.m. limit.
