This meter is jammed. (No ticket issued)
The two parking meters on the corner of 6th and Dunn are blacked out and you can't see them at night.
I received a parking ticket on 11/09/2013 due to incorrect signage for the new parking meters. It is not clear which meter is for a specific parking space in front of Le Petit Cafe on 6th Street on the north side of the street. It is not clear that the space farthest to the east just next to the rails-to-trails path is a valid parking spot since the east side of the space has a yellow curb. Yellow curbs typically indicate "no parking." this are needs better signage. That space isn't even wide enough for the average car if it is even supposed to be a parking space. The curb should be repainted to clearly indicate if it is a parking space or not.
Scooter frequently parks and blocks large portion of this sidewalk, north side of Bicycle Apartments
Older nissan maxima parked on the street, posted no parking on either street in our neighborhood, with no license plate for over 2 months. Please ticket/tow!
I'm not trying to appeal a ticket, but I do have a question. I received a parking ticket today because I did not properly use the meter which I should have. That was my fault, I admit. However, I took a quick look at the meter, and for some reason, it said "expires at 1:30 pm" or something like that. Do previous cars' allotted times continue even when the next person parks, and does the next person parking need to somehow stop the time and then start another session, or something like that? Just curious. Secondly, as I wrote in a comment that I realize was directed to the "other" and "public works" section of this site rather than parking, I would like to apologize again for a nasty, profane complaint letter that I included in the envelope I used to pay my parking ticket. I wrote the letter essentially in the heat of the moment, and did not mean anything I wrote at all. You may not have received the envelope yet, but it was poorly written, so please disregard it. I have a much higher view of the city than what the letter indicates and take full responsibility for today's parking situation.
Where is our Parking Enforcement Officer? Day in, day out there are still cars parked on the street in the 600 and 700 block of S Eastside Drive, that seem not to have a valid residential neighborhood parking permit or visitor tag displayed: the white Volvo, the grey Toyota Sienna and the red Ford truck (which should not be parked on the street anyway because it is too long).
Only gave credit for one of the coin input in
Same problem as before (sorry it was 6th and College, not Walnut). I just tried to put more money in and it ate it without adding time.
Apologies for submitting this in the "permit" category but there is nothing for "meters". We were parking at 6th and Walnut for lunch. I put a dollar coin in the meter and it just ate it. I had seen a sticker on another meter that showed quarters and dollar coins as acceptable. Apparently not. We then put quarters in. We wanted to pay for an hour, but after 3 quarters it stopped adding time. It ate two more quarters after that.
