(Afro) — Washington, D.C. lawmakers and motorists as well as commuters are condemning a parking toll increase this month as being a band-aid for the city’s bleeding revenue bank rather than an answer to motorists’ needs.
Earlier this year, the District Department of Transportation began enforcing parking meter fares on Saturdays at metered spaces across the city. At that time, crews began updating more than 100,000 parking regulatory signs and nearly 17,000 meters to reflect that change.
