Meter money
City councilmen are considering cutting in half the amount of time a quarter can buy at most of Shamokin's parking meters.
The cost to park in metered spots under current ordinance is as follows:
- 25 cents per hour with a 2-hour limit - Anthracite, Arch, Chestnut, Eighth, Independence, Liberty, Market, Ninth, Orange, Shamokin, Sunbury and Washington streets.
- 25 cents per hour with a 10-hour limit - Commerce and Lincoln streets.
- 25 cents per hour with a 4-hour limit - Water Street, from Ninth to Liberty, and all of Rock Street.
- 25 cents per hour with a 4-hour limit - Independence Street parking lot, between Washington and Rock streets.
- 25 cents per hour with a 2-hour limit - Independence Street west-end parking lot.
- 25 cents per 2 hours with a 4-hour limit - Third Street parking lot.
- 25 cents per 2 hours with a 10-hour limit - Water Street parking lot, between Market and Eighth streets.
- 25 cents per 2 hours with a 10-hour limit - Water Street, from Liberty to Rock streets.
There are no plans to adjust the parking spots metered for 15 minutes, which will continue to cost 25 cents.
