In reference to case number 161348. I still have not gotten a response and submitted on 9/28. This is a hinderance since I still do not have parking due to the discrepencies between your website and the map hanging in the parking dept. office.

Hi. This is a friendly note to tell you that the new 4th Street Garage has a trash can on the exteror, Southwest corner, that hasn't been emptied since it was first placed there. It's definetely full and is in need of being emptied. I've mentioned this twice to parking garage attendants (via video chat at the exit) but wanted to be sure someone is aware. Thanks very much.

1. Parking meter is comparable to every other parking meter in town. 2. Meter is clearly configured and marked to accept coins: coin slot, label stating “COINS” with an arrow plus a notice “INSERT VALID COINS ONLY” 3. Despite the clear labeling and configuration of the meter to accept coins, alternating digital display actually reveals “CARDS ONLY” 4. Someone using the meter puts money in, only to get nothing for it, and THEN discover that despite the labeling, this particular meter (unlike hundred of others like it all over town) DOES NOT ACCEPT COINS. 5. Not accepting cash is an equity issue. Not everyone carries a credit card around. 6. There is no reason to make this so utterly confusing. This problem of misleading labels on the meter about accepting coins but not actually delivering paid time to park seems to be either a scam, incompetence, or laziness.
