**Re: Parking Meters**

After at least a decade fighting our parking meters, and watching visitors to our city have to do the same . . . I suggest replacing them all. The design is lousy — that reflective plastic on the face, in a city with so much sunlight? Idiotic decision, unless the point was to cheat parkers out of money.

Can’t be that, though. Can it?
