I never could figure out why Hartford has to revert to these practices... I paid the meter and missed coming back by couple of minutes - got $25 fine - is that reasonable no! (I am willing to pay $5 tops for this that might be reasonable)... so I went to protest a ticket and got another $15 added to that - again for what just stating my case with someone for 1 minute? I love Hartford, but I truly hope that Harford Parking Authority goes bankrupt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403406966877171339.post-56965824606048662582008-06-30T16:02:26.143-04:002008-06-30T16:02:26.143-04:00Dear Kerri,<BR/><BR/>Having been tried to park in the HPL with only those particular 'reserved' spots, I know NOT to go parking there at any time.

In fact, riding through several streets this morning, I can say that what they do tell you is thus:<BR/>"2 HOUR PARKING<BR/>8:00 AM to 6:00 PM"<BR/>There isn't even a "except on weekends" or anything suggesting that one doesn't have to pay after 6PM. You may think that is obvious, but I can't tell you the number of times I've been asked that question by someone standing by the flipping sign. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment.Helderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00359297336388177578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403406966877171339.post-75662035264276749752008-06-29T20:29:00.000-04:002008-06-29T20:29:00.000-04:00I'd hardly call it a conspiracy. I've always had trouble locating signs (here and in other cities) that clearly explain when parking must be paid for.<BR/><BR/>I'm more confused by the signs at the HPL garage/parking area. Are those spaces *always* reserved (the ones marked with people's names/job titles), or are they only off-limits during certain hours.kerrihttp://ctlocalpolitics.net/realhartfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403406966877171339.post-81687694229178304372008-06-29T18:33:00.000-04:002008-06-29T18:33:00.000-04:00What part of "SEE POSTED STREET SIGNS FOR PARKING REGULATIONS" didn't you understand?<BR/><BR/>All of the meters say that and the signs on the block tell you what days and hours the regulations are in effect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
