Over at Atwater Village Nerd, our transplanted friend from Colorado found a little secret just southeast of City Hall.LADOT knows about it, as A.V. Nerd points out, but there's more...
New "meter technology" is always tried out there first. At national parking meter conventions (yes, they exist as part of larger transportation conferences!), L.A. engineers seek out the newest technology to combat the tampering of meters that goes on in the Toy, Fashion, and adjacent districts.
Some of the recent technologies they're trying out is card-only meters so no coins are involved. Another approach would be a central pay station with marked spaces on the street, and the parker would pay for their spot. They are also working on tamper-proof meters.
What's next? Talk to the City's on-street parking expert, Senior Transportation Engineer Brian Gallagher. Go ahead, try him.
