Police officers received orders on Wednesday not to issue any parking tickets in areas with pay-and-display meter boxes due to “issues” with the meters, the Chicago Tribune’s Clout Street is reporting.
Motorists are reportedly paying for their spots, but the boxes aren’t printing receipts that are to be displayed on dashboards. Some have resorted to leaving notes on their dashes instead.
The private company that assumed operations of the city’s paid parking spots has sent out crews to fix problems affecting roughly 23 percent of the 556 pay boxes in the city, according to City Budget Department spokesman Pete Scales. A spokeswoman for the parking meter company said the problem will be fixed by this afternoon.
