Parking fees may rise at Lambert

ST. LOUIS -- The price of parking at Lambert Airport may soon be going up.

The St. Louis Airport Commission on Wednesday is expected to double the minimum price to park at Lambert's two primary garages. The change would be effective next month. Daily parking fees would increase to $23 from $21.

Airport officials say the change will generate an additional $1.5 million annually and encourage people to use two cellphone lots when they are simply there to pick up someone.
