We reported earlier on increases in the rates for parking meters, but it looks like they won't take effect outside Manhattan, WNYC reports yesterday:
Parking meter prices will remain the same in the outer boroughs and above 86th Street in Manhattan thanks to a budget deal reached between Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council.
Drivers are now charged 25 cents for 20 minutes to park at a meter in those areas. But the planned hike would have increased the hourly rate from 75 cents an hour to $1.

Rates did go up in Manhattan south of 86th Street, from $2.50 to $3.00 per hour.
