Even though alternate side parking remains suspended today, parking meters are back on, which is great for the city because today they're rolling out higher parking meter rates. Starting in Manhattan and Queens, a quarter will now get you just 15 minutes instead of 20, and Muni-meters in Manhattan south of 86th Street will now cost $3 an hour instead of $2.50. Bronx will see changes in March, followed by Brooklyn and Staten Island in April. Unless they secede, in which case the rest of the city will have all the money we need and prices will never go up again.
