Alcohol in the news; Urbana reduces number of liquor licenses

Urbana reduces number of liquor licenses



URBANA — The Urbana City Council voted 7-0 Monday night to reduce the number of Class C liquor licenses from 27 to 15.

Chief of Staff Mike Monson said the city has issued 15 Class C licenses — which allow a business to sell packaged beer, wine and hard liquor to be consumed off the property — so businesses with existing licenses won't be affected.

However, Monday's decision means that no additional licenses are currently available for two convenience stores that have applied for Class C liquor licenses: Q-Mart, proposed for 2005 Philo Road, and The Short-Stop, proposed for 1720 S. Philo Road.


why not raise the price on the parking garage from 25 cents an hour to something reasonable... like to the same price that is charged at the meters in the rest of town? why not raise the price on the meters downtown to the same price around the rest of town?


The council discussed a change to the budget suggested by Mayor Laurel Prussing that includes cutting $71,000 in tourism promotion and raising parking rates in the city's university district from 75 cents to $1 per hour.


Nope, it's fuck the students. I'd guess the only reason they aren't discussing raising the rates by Carle, is because most of those meters have been removed due to constructions of Carle's new hole.
