The city's parking app still works reliably, but the executive director of the Downtown Association notes that not everybody has the ability to use it
Damage and freezing temperatures have created some technical difficulties for the city’s solar-powered parking meters, many of which are malfunctioning, but a city spokesperson says parking enforcement agents are showing some leniency due to the issues.
“The Transit team is working with the parking meter company to troubleshoot and upgrade the technology,” said city spokesperson Tessa Vecchio in an email. “As moisture enters the machine, the tape jams and maintenance is required. The machines are checked on a regular basis and some are awaiting parts,” said Vecchio.
Nicole Maione, Manager of Transit, said in an email the issues began a few years ago and noted there has recently been some damage to the units. The meters are maintained by the city, working with the manufacturer.Salvatore Marchese, executive director of the Downtown Association, said broken parking meters on Queen Street have been an issue for longer than he took the position more than two years ago.
