“C’mon James – you’ve gotta be kidding !
Our Village leaders have years of tried and true methods to solve problems:
1) If you’re a friend of a Village employee, Council or Board member you either:
A) get to come up with the solution that helps you (Think “Horse farm”), and/or
B) deny there’s a problem and do what you want (think wall in front of the Greek place), and/or
2) If you’re an employee, you:
A) either try bullying people (think Roberta); and/or
B) take what you can get, then say your sorry and keep some of the profits (think Parking meter collector).
Now along comes you, preaching heresy and wanting to use facts to solve a problem! Just think of what would happen to our well-oiled Village methodologies if we used facts and logic? “
Montclair uses the app and it’s not a big deal.
We won’t have a guy stealing quarters anymore. but our next crook will just download the cash instead.
Ridgewood has park mobile since 2015
Just great . Who comes up with a his shit.
The mandatory use of a private profit-making company to park in a municipal parking lot would probably lose in a court case. If I had the money and time, I might try it. It’s offensive. Many people clearly do not mind paying a fee on top of the high parking fee; they welcome the opportunity to stop using coins, which can easily be kept in the car’s ash tray. But some do mind being turned away, and this practice is Roberta all over and unacceptable. I saw that sign when the only available spaces were in that lot and had to leave. Great way to encourage people to shop downtown. I drove elsewhere. I can say for a fact that if there were no other way to park downtown, I would literally never go downtown.
why can’t we just do it like every other town and offer the option to pay using phone or bank card and also coins like the kiosk thing? why does that lot have to be different? forced APP downloading is a huge deterrent to parking and just bad for business in CBD
This is why people just go to the mall. Or do it I don’t shop online and it’s mail right at my house I don’t need the bullshit.
yeah, no.
I won’t be tracked by the village.
.
no coins…. no shopping for me.
