I saw these new meters. What does the City have planned for people who don't have cell phones? Or people who refuse to give Olympia their credit card number? Now it expects the customer to input data. And I don't believe that the typical meter reader will believe that "expired" doesn't mean one didn't pay. Olympia doesn't have a good record for forgiving parking fines that it's meters caused in the first place. I know this from experience. I parked at a meter near the 5th Ave bank that took my two quarters but didn't change the display from the original fifteen minutes.
Olympia has changed their parking meters at least six times in the last ten years. What is it, does the city have stock in parking meter companies? And the city wonders why fewer and fewer people are coming downtown to shop? DUH. It's the Parking Meters, stupids. Get rid of them.
