[MissoulaGov] Committee Update 12-2-09

[Pam Walzer]

Sorry - Several people in the audience commented on my face during the
discussion. I for one am a fan of our current meters. I appreciate in large
cities, there are so many that it presents a visual blight. Personally,
I like how our meters look. They have an old-timey look and sometimes
double as additional bike parking. I'm assuming that the talk is of a
modernization to a parking "kiosk" that accepts coins, dollar bills, credit
cards. This may be preferable to some, but I prefer to get out of my car,
put a few coins in the meter located just in front of or behind my vehicle
and be on my way. I know it seems like the epitome of laziness, but I don't
want to go to a central location in the block, buy my parking ticket and go
back to my car and put it on my dashboard. I suspect there are others out
there who feel the way I do. Likewise, there are others who would probably
prefer to not worry about having coins.
