MONROE - The Monroe Common Council voted 5-4 Tuesday against demolishing the municipal parking ramp and replacing it with a flat 72-space lot. Aldermen Chris Beer, Michael Boyce, Louis Armstrong, Tom Miller and Charles Koch voted against the resolution; aldermen Brooke Bauman, Reid Stangel, Richard Thoman and Jeff Newcomer were in favor of the flat lot. The option is one of three recommendations put forward by Rich & Associates in a parking study conducted in 2015.
