Price increase at Uptown parking meters just one of many changes

By Lauren Kelly

OXFORD, Ohio, Dec. 6, 2010 -- Oxford might be quaint, but it's also congested and difficult to find a parking space even for a simple coffee run. When Miami University students and other city travelers returned to the red brick streets of Uptown Oxford after Thanksgiving break, they found the city's first major attempt at a solution to this crowding of cars: a higher cost for every meter and fewer long-term parking options.

City implements parking meter changes

OXFORD, Ohio, Nov. 23, 2010 — Students will be met with new parking arrangements uptown when they return from Thanksgiving break.

Earlier this fall, Oxford City Council and the Parking and Transportation Board endorsed changes in uptown parking. The main goal of the changes, which include an increase to 50 cents an hour in some parts of the business district, is to eliminate meter feeding by uptown business employees and residents, Economic Development Director Alan Kyger said.

Metro Makes Changes

Miami Metro bus riders will see an increased police presence on the buses after dark.

by  Katie Tilly, Redhawk Report

(Oxford) The Miami Metro bus service has helped students get from point A to point B without breaking a sweat, yet some serious changes are taking place aboard the buses.  

During the day the Metro helps off campus students get to class and students without cars get to destinations like McDonalds and Kroger.  By night, the Metro is transformed into something of a party bus.
