The City powers that be have already decided to install metered parking below Third St. Public input be damned.
ReplyDeleteThe plan is not actually for parking meters but rather, as I understand it, mobile payments made at pay kiosks using the vehicle's license plate number. There is some flexibility. The committee has discussed peak pricing and various things. There may actually be the capacity to exempt residents of the block from payment if they register, so it's not a completely done deal, and those affected should stay on top of this.
DeleteYou are correct Carole, they aren't parking meters. But the effect is the same, basically the total elimination of residential parking on Warren Street unless one wants to feed a mobile payment kiosk. Exempting residents through registering or even paying a fee would be acceptable but I don't see it being talked about. Parking pressure in Hudson is becoming a major quality of life problem.
