Nothing in life is free, so it goes, and the same goes for parking. Yesterday, the SF MTA board voted to install shiny, new parking meters that would cover 1,340 new spaces on 37 street sections in 10 neighborhoods," reports the Chronicle. About half of these new meters will operate with congestion-based pricing, with rates that rise and fall with demand.
Good news, right? Or bad news, right? Depending which side of the fence you're on. In the end, though, the new meters are anticipated to cull in about $2 million a year and "improve the availability of parking in congested neighborhoods."
But where will these new meters sprout, you ask? By the numbers: "the Caltrain station, 266; Cathedral Hill, 140; Fisherman's Wharf, 58; Inner Mission, 70; Civic Center West, 137; lower Nob Hill, 216; Civic Center South, 32; Moscone Center, 222; Outer Mission, 127; and AT&T Park, 72."
