Visitors to Old Town will likely have to start paying for parking starting this summer. After the Wichita City Council established paid parking for most of downtown in December, several Old Town building owners had sought to install an extra 2% sales tax to pay for parking in the area instead of asking visitors to pay when they park. But the council declined Tuesday to set a public hearing to establish the tax district, triggering implementation of $1 an hour parking. Parking would be free for the first 15 minutes someone is parked in a spot.
