Description
New parking meters have problems.
1. They are too tall for a shorter person to see information, which
makes them unusable.
2. They do not accept New Haven card although signage says they do.

You are correct.. The parking meters in front of Elm City Market are more elevated. This is because they are mounted to ornamental street lamp poles rather than parking meter posts. Unfortunately, these particular meters have been adjusted as much as they can be. Since the mounting brackets are a permanent part of the lamp pole which is made of cast metal, we cannot re-weld them, as there is a high likelihood of cracking the metal during the welding process. We are not going to install parking meter posts in this location for aesthetic reasons. The only other option would be to remove the street lamps and replace them with newer models. For that, you will want to open a new post and make that request. Therefore, this issue is being closed.
If there are other parking meters in the city that need to be adjusted, please report them in a new post and include the parking meter number, as it will significantly increase the time for adjustment - if needed. Thank you.
