Way back in October 2010, someone ripped out a parking meter including its concrete base and dragged or tossed it, caber-style, into the shrubbery.
On my way to a meeting Friday night, I noticed it was fixed and later took this photo.

Parking Meter Restored
Given the reason why a parking meter on Watchung Avenue went missing, maybe I shouldn't even call attention to its restoration.

It's a small thing, but the parking meter will again be a revenue source and the hole that was trip-and-fall hazard is filled in. I'm told quite a few parking meters get vandalized each year, so restoring them is a necessary chore.

Plainfield should have the meter boxes like they have in Westfield or in NYC. You must walk to the box to get a ticket, but you can pay by credit card, which means no money to steal.
ReplyDeleteBernice : It took 3 years to replace the meter?
ReplyDeleteJim.. c'mon...seriously?? You're shocked? The City of Plainfield has set the bar so unbelievably low ( and this is not a slam on Sharon Robinson-Briggs ) that you really should be elated it was replaced at all much less taking 3 years.
