• Homewood hires parking enforcement officer as downtown parking crunch continues (abc3340.com) — Downtown Homewood drivers will soon see stricter enforcement of the city’s three-hour parking limit as a new part-time parking enforcement officer begins work. City leaders say the move aims to free up spaces for shoppers and diners, encouraging employees to use the free, untimed City Hall garage or microtransit instead of on-street spots.
