City backs away from parking limits
Baltimore's Parking Authority partially backed down from its decision to impose two-hour parking restrictions on two blocks of Calvert Street near Penn Station. The agency once again is allowing all-day parking on the east side of the street. Peter E. Little, executive director of the authority, said the agency is evaluating its parking restrictions on the west side of Calvert between Mount Royal Avenue and Federal Street and expects to make a decision whether to continue two-hour parking before the end of the week. The city's decision late last month to restrict parking on Calvert - reported Monday in The Sun - drew protests from MARC riders. Little said he ordered the signs on the east side removed in time for yesterday's morning rush hour. Michael Dresser
