A moratorium on parking fines for certain parking violations in Troy’s downtown historic district through Dec. 31 was approved Monday, Oct. 2, by Troy City Council.

The moratorium is for time violations, but will not affect parking spaces designed for handicapped or for 30 minutes, parked vehicles overhanging into the driving lane or those not parked within the designated marked space lines.
