One Small Idea For Hartford

4 hour parking limits at meters.

Parking meters are presently capped at 2 hours. Like many people heading to court, I use these meters a lot.  If I’m heading in on a short motion, I’ll opt to fill the meter ($2) in lieu of paying $9 to park for the day. Many people do this.

Clients and lawyers regularly have to leave court to feed meters. Delays are common in court.

My small idea is to bump the meters to 4 hour limits. In exchange for the added convenience, I’d happily pay $5 for a 4 hour block of time. Under my proposal, the City would net an extra dollar (likely more) and Hartford would be instantly more “business friendly”.
