City Garage Again Charging for Parking

The Prince George Street Garage in Williamsburg is again charging for parking, now that a system glitch has been repaired.

On Tuesday, the city began offering free parking after an outage on the Verizon DSL line connecting the city’s data center with the garage interfered with credit card processing. The garage was open for vehicles, free of charge, until the problem was repaired.

The repair was delayed by a strike of 45,000 Verizon Communications employees that started Sunday.

The city announced Thursday morning that the issue was resolved.

BUT the much wider and larger irriating problem in our downtown area involves this: WHY does our city govt. IGNORE that continued ABUSED, BEMUSED & illegal parking on our city-owned streets with on-street "NO PARKING" signs (one-hour or two-hour limits), like OUR Richmond & Jamestown roads...Prince George & Armistead streets? Enough of us know how students & College employees, for years, have used the ol' illegal scrub off the white marks, periodically walking out to do so! And how enforcing the illegal practice of OUR on-street parking violations, by our local police dept., has continued for decades! And we also know and understand how our local College administration, for decades, has ignored this huge parking problem in our downtown area by not solving the parking mess on their own State-owned Campus. Their quiet solution is and has been to ignore, send the parking problem over to our City-owned streets, knowing they can get away with it!!

When so many of us have no pension, no hospitalization , and are either unemployed or under employed how can Verizon workerd justify a strike that delays or prevents repairs to vital services. Like Congress, they are out of touch with reality.
