The Mayor's Office tonight issued this statement regarding parking on Warren Street and other locations where there once were meters.
With parking enforcement resuming tomorrow, City Hall is sharing the following information about the new parking payment system. These updates reflect the concerns and feedback that have been expressed by the community since the beginning of the new year.
- Parking signs are being installed along the length of Warren and will continue to be placed on streets that had previously been metered;
- On-street kiosks will be installed in the coming weeks; and
- With an eye toward reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, any person with a valid handicap tag or license plate will not be required to pay for on-street parking or short-term municipal lots.
This decision was made in collaboration among the Mayor, the ADA coordinator, the Chief of Police, and the Common Council President. We hope this policy will alleviate the concerns of residents with disabilities who had previously relied on parking meters and previously unmetered stretches of Warren Street for their everyday needs,
A commissioner's order to follow.

I'm predicting that this parking thing will turn into a major snafu. I expect that visitors to Hudson will be coming into my shop and asking, WTF? ~ PJ
