The City of Whitefish has created a parking permit committee to look at parking in downtown.
The committee is expected to provide suggestions and feedback with respect to a pilot employee parking permit program, and also evaluate potential residential parking permit programs.
In October 2019, City Council adopted the Whitefish Parking Management Plan that makes several suggestions for ways to improve parking in the downtown area.
The committee is set to consist of stakeholders in the retail establishment, bar, restaurant, professional office, or hotel/lodging establishments in the parking study area; representative of the Whitefish School District; and members residing in the parking study area and/or within the city limits and two city staff members.
The pilot parking permit area focuses on downtown from Miles Avenue east to Columbia Avenue, and Depot Street south to East Fifth Street.

Children’s book about world’s largest steam tractor aims to inspire
Smoke billows from the stack of the steam-powered tractor as it chugs along, sounding like a train locomotive. At a top speed of just under 6 mph, the 150 Case Road Locomotive moves methodically but is mighty in strength as it’s able to pull 50 plows, carving a large swath in the brown field.
