Tell Us: New Parking Meters

Have they changed the way you visit businesses on Main Street?

in the lots behind Main Street have upset some Port Washington shopkeepers and their customers.

The lots, which once had one meter per spot or every two spots, now have one meter for the entire lot where patrons enter their spot number and pay for their time. Even though the meters now allow two hours instead of one, many feel the extra time is not worth the inconvenience. Many say the spot to pay is too far away from the shops they frequent.

Which has us wondering: Have the new meters changed the way you visit businesses on Main Street? Tell us in the comments.
