Cedarhurst parking meters go hi-tech

The Village of Cedarhurst is introducing hi-tech parking meters on a portion of Central Avenue between Cedarhurst Avenue and Spruce Street. These new meters -— there is one per parking space, without a muni-meter kiosk — take credit cards as well as quarters and can be used to broadcast village notices.

 During what Mayor Andrew Parise described as a pilot program, a customer service representative will be on the street to assist motorists.

“We believe this is the fairest and friendliest meter on the market and we are committed to providing an exceptional shopping and parking experience,” said village trustee Ari Brown.
