New Meters Slowly Making Their Way into the Neighborhood

If 2nd Street South towards 3rd Avenue is part of your walking, jogging, biking or driving route, you've probably noticed new parking pay stations were recently installed between 5th Avenue and 3rd Avenue. 

Raya Zimmerman's "Smarter Parking" article in the August 15-28 Journal sheds light on why they're being installed, how they work, how to use them and how to avoid mistakes that will most likely result in a ticket.

It's actually a pretty straight forward system to use, but until parkers get comfortable with it you can count on seeing people frozen in front of the pay station with squinting eyes and furrowed brows.
