Muni-meters, central parking meters, will soon be installed on 13th Avenue in Boro-Park. Muni-meters are devices where you can purchase parking receipts to display in your windshield in order to be able to park on the street.
What the City gains from the new Muni-meters
- No more taking over meters with time left on the clock
- No more feeding the meter
- No more adding time when the meter maid is approaching (it will take too long to buy another receipt)
- No more broken meters
- Tickets are often issued when the driver leaves his car to purchase a receipt at the Muni-meters which can be up to half a block away
What you supposedly gain from this
- Supposedly there will be more parking space because cars will be able to park closer without having the constrictions of the predetermined metered spots.
In reality there will be less parking space because parking will become a free-for-all with cars taking up more room than thay need, as on every other block in Boro-Park.
Thank you NYC for squeezing every penny out of us!
