So what if I go up there at 8 AM, get a coffee, then feed the meter at 8:58 so that I can get a haircut? If I park in the parking garage, I can get my ticket validated for one hour free parking where I get my haircut, but it would still be cheaper to park on the street. Where is the incentive? <br /><br />Mt. Lebanon will be using a new system at the garages in April. I have asked the attendants if they will be losing their jobs since Lebo is going with an automated system. They don't know what is going to happen to them.<br />ElaineLebo Citizenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936908236243700005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-69257150423781404812016-03-15T09:16:52.210-04:002016-03-15T09:16:52.210-04:00Last week, I received a NON-METER ticket for feedi...Last week, I received a NON-METER ticket for feeding almost $6.00 into the parking meter while I parked and spent about $150.00 in the business district. When I returned to my car, I spied the ticket on my front window. Hmmm. I was confused (like Timmy would be). I KNEW that I had fed the meter enough money. Well, well, well, it turns out that my transgression was non-meter related. In fact, I still had 28 minutes left on the meter. It took me until I arrived home to figure out that I had allegedly broken the law by parking for more than two hours in the Washington Road business district. I was going to appeal to The Crazy Man with No Brain, but I knew that would be futile. The fine is $20.00. Therefore, I paid $26.00 to park in Uptown Mt. Lebanon one morning and spend a bunch of money in the shops. Not exactly an incentive to shop in Mt. Lebanon.<br /><br />On Smithfield Street in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, the signs at the meters say One-hour parking. However, as long as you keep that meter fed, they don't care if you stay all day. <br /><br />WTF?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-56795077717251787892016-03-15T08:56:47.067-04:002016-03-15T08:56:47.067-04:00So, while I was having my teeth cleaned yesterday,...So, while I was having my teeth cleaned yesterday, I heard a couple people in my dentist's office talking about a woman they know (maybe a patient) who fed the meter where she was parked on Washington Road in the biz district and when she returned to her car to leave, she had a ticket on her windshield. Her meter had not expired and she fed the meter a couple times because she has quite a bit to do Uptown that day. She couldn't figure out why she got the ticket so she challenged it before Blaise. Blaise's office told her that if she looked at the ticket carefully, she would see that it was NOT a meter violation. Rather, she was ticketed for parking for more than two hours at that meter---even though she continued to pump money into the meter. <br /><br />Who ever heard of that?

Once I had a customer get booted while she was at my business. After a big storm, she couldn't find any parking so she went to a residential street. She couldn't tell parking wasn't permitted there due to the storm snow covering up the usual markers. So when she went to get her car and it was gone. She had to get a ride to the place in CV where cars go and pay a hefty fine. Incidentally, she noticed a Lebo cop car parked there (at the land of booted cars) and learned that it is rented out for use in movies. I can probably think of some additional things to do with it.
