CITY INCREASES PRICING FOR ASTORIA DITMARS AREA ELECTRONIC METERS
A QUARTER GIVES YOU ONLY 20 MINUTES, DOWN FROM 30.
ASTORIAITALIA.BLOGSPOT.COM SUGGESTS USING YOUR CELL PHONE FOR ALARM OR COMING TO THIS WEB BLOGSPOT FOR ON SCREEN ALARM
Astoria, New York
The DOT raises electronic meter fares from 50 cents to 75 cents per hour, a 50 percent increase. Astoria Italia was alerted by a public official worker down 31 street near Ditmars. Non-electronic meters in the area were still accepting 2 quarters per hour. By looking at the signs, it was not possible to determine the pricing of the meters. Therefore, it is advisable to review the electronic meter's instructions and the receipt that you must properly place on your car's dashboard so it is visible to the traffic agents. Also, it is advisable to keep an alarm tool such as a cell phone to notify you ahead of an expiring meter ticket so you can move your car. This blogspot website has an embedded alarm tool if you are an office worker sitting at a computer.
*added Mar 14th, 2009* After an additional review, the increase in price was shown on a sticker/plate of the electronic meters. Also, the regular meters on 31 street between Ditmars and 21 Ave show the price increase. A quarter is now good for 20 minutes of parking time. It is advisable to review your meter at the time of payment.
