JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Drivers and residents parking in most on-street parking spots Downtown are noticing a steep increase in parking rates at any of 916 digital parking meters.
What would have cost $5 a day is now going to cost $20 a day. The city told News4Jax the increase is to discourage people from parking all day in spaces intended for use by people making short visits to restaurants, shops and offices.
“It has literally quadrupled,” said Jacksonville resident Michael Holeman.
The meters take coins or credit cards. There’s no app for that.
