The cost of repairs has been growing since payment-card parking meters were installed four years ago in Liverpool. A design flaw has created confusion for drivers. They’ve been clogging the meters with coins instead of the specially-designed cards. Region of Queens Mayor Christopher Clarke says there’s a quick fix.
Each time a parking meter has been clogged by a coin, it costs $100 to repair and those repairs have been mounting. All meters should be safely accepting coins and tokens in a couple of weeks. By the way, tokens can be purchased at the Region of Queens municipal office.
