The Abilene City Council approved a first reading to allow a metered parking lot on the 200 block of Cedar Street.

The lot is currently equipped with an automatic meter, however in order for it to be used a current ordinance needs to be changed.

The city's Public Works Department says the change will allow for some safer off-street parking for shoppers and visitors.

A public hearing on the subject will be scheduled in the coming weeks.
