The City of Lancaster has implemented new multi-space parking meters. You can pay with cash, tokens, smart cards, or with a credit card. You park and note your space number painted on the street. Then find the nearest kiosk, enter your space number and pay for the amount of time desired (up to 2 hours). The kiosk will give you receipt that includes the time the meter is set to expire. The cool thing is that you can add more time from any similar kiosk by entering your space number. No need to run back to the car to feed the meter! For now, the kiosks are just in use in the 4 blocks around the square. The kiosks are solar-powered and reduce the number of parking meters in the streetscape.
Would I use one for my scooter? Probably not… I’ll just pull it up on the curb or use the free parking at the Prince Street Garage. But it’s a cool concept.
