Parking Meter Increase

Syracuse, NY - If you're in Armory Square today you may be surprised by an upgrade. Starting today, new parking meters will be installed downtown. These meters will include credit card readers for more convenience, but will also increase from seventy five cents to a dollar twenty five an hour. Over the next couple of weeks, upgraded parking meters will appear on the north side and eventually on the Syracuse University hill. The price increase will encourage people who live and work downtown to use lots and garages instead of taking up spaces for customers.
