Isn't it true that when many communities removed parking meters it was because they discovered it was a good trade off? In other words, meterless shopping brought more shoppers to the area?

I can't imagine a $115 parking ticket.

Now, parking in a 'handicap' zone is different. The price of that violation should be high. But regular parking? Sheeeesh

Perhaps that city should simply advise everyone that each month or perhaps each year, every license holder should stop by the municipal office and submit a nonrefundable fee. It would be less frustrating.
