GREEN BAY, WI (WLUK) — Green Bay’s city council voted Tuesday night to double parking ramp rates for the NFL Draft.

The city says it’s necessary to cover increased staffing and maintenance needs.

Wednesday through Friday next week, the rates will go from the current $1 per hour, or $12 per day, to $2 per hour, or $24 per day.

The city also considered raising rates for parking meters, but the cost of changing the meters and then changing them back was cost-prohibitive.
