Farewell to Parking Meters

There have been parking meters on Warren Street since 1941. This month, after 84 years, the parking meters are being removed, to be replaced with payment kiosks. During the month of December, when paying for parking at meters is suspended, the meter heads are being removed. The Department of Public Works will follow up by removing the posts.

Come January, payment for parking along Warren Street and in municipal lots will be made not by feeding quarters into a meter but with a debit or credit card at a kiosk. (If you're wedded to quarters, the kiosks will also accept them.) Now is the time, if you don't already know it by heart, to memorize your car's license plate number. You will need it to make a payment at the kiosk and avoid being ticketed.
