On Monday night, the Town Council voted to allow a charge for parking at Monument Lake. It'll be a little more than $5 for daily parking passes, or $50 for a residents-only annual pass.Town leaders say this will help with parkin g congestion, improve safety and generate money to maintain the lake."For me, I don't really mind if they charge for parking, as long as it goes back to taking care of the lake and doing things to keep up the parking lot managing the area here it is fine," said Tom Harris, who lives in Colorado Springs.Monument Town Government says paid parking will be enforced by early next year when the parking kiosks are installed._______Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
