LA GRANDE â The city of La Grande soon will be issuing parking tickets again in the downtown area.
The city has not enforced downtown parking regulations since late March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The city resumes enforcing downtown parking rules beginning Monday, March 22.
The change comes after the state downgraded Union Countyâs COVID-19 risk category from extreme to moderate, allowing more businesses to serve more customers, particularly restaurants and bars, which now can operate at 50% capacity for dine-in service. That means more people are visiting downtown, where finding a parking spot can be difficult.
âWith most of our retail and restaurants now open to the public, it is time to assist our downtown businesses to make sure that customers have access to their stores,â said City Manager Robert Strope in a press release.

LA GRANDE â A little dust and dirt showed on the black polo shirt Union County s new sheriff wore, a reflection of the work he s been helping with just feet from his cramped office.
Sheriff Cody Bowen took time late Friday afternoon, Feb. 19, for an interview with The Observer. Three days earlier the lanky Bowen kicked a hole through a wall in a nearby room, signaling the start of some demolition and renovation. The move was as much symbolic as literal.
That wall divided the break areas for the patrol deputies and their supervisors, creating small spaces for both. Removing it and adding some other upgrades, he said, makes the space more useful and roomy. It also shows he wants the sheriff s office to function as a team.
