The convenience of a cell phone might one day eliminate the inconvenience of carrying quarters to pay Ridgewood’s downtown parking meters.

Ridgewood Council members are considering a parking meter update, which would outfit existing mechanisms to work with Parkmobile, a smartphone application that allows registered users to pay fees by scanning a QR (quick response) code. The Borough of Glen Rock currently uses the system.

According to municipal engineer Chris Rutishauser, implementing Parkmobile in Ridgewood will come with little cost to the village and its taxpayers. The system requires the placement of a sticker bearing a QR code on each of Ridgewood’s numbered meters. Interested users must register with Parkmobile and download the app to their smartphone.
