If you want to learn anything, you go to the guy in the know. How many times have you been told, in so many words, that "I only do want I need to do under the law, or-- I fulfill my job description--not one little thing over and above that. In this case, it is the meter reader himself who had the answer--
he told me that the meter was temporarily suspended.
I did bring up the fact last week that the parking meter at the L Street Parking Lot was moved to Old Bridge Park. We learned this at the city commission budget meeting. No reason was given but we only can surmise that people actually park at Old Bridge Park whereas during the week they avoided L Street like the plague.
Nothing was said, however, about when the meter would be replaced at L. Street. So in the meantime, you can use your phone app to pay? Is it free? Forgot to ask that question. As my first blog on this got deleted somehow, I have included the finance Director's explanation: "That lease ends in September 2013 and the owner has sent the City notice that they do not wish to continue it. So it will revert to private hands."

Just heard back from Finance Director, Steve Carr. This is what he said.
...the lot on Lucerne just west of the Lucerne building, on the south side of Llucerne. That lease ends in September 2013 and the owner has sent the City notice that they do not wish to continue it. So it will revert to private hands.
Why didn't the city just mention that to begin with that the owners were not renewing. Now that they think they will get 65 feet in that block, look for them to be pushing a sale.
