Altoona is getting rid of back-in parking in River Prairie.
The city announced yesterday that it will repaint the parking spaces, and transition to a regular parking pattern over the next few days. City administrator Mike Golat says they thought back-in parking would be safer, but he says people hated it. Crews will close the streets around River Prairie to make the changes tonight and tomorrow night. The hope is to be ready for regular parking by Friday.
