HARRISON – In order to raise revenue for the Town of Harrison, the parking meters near the PATH station have been hiked since March 4. Fees were reassessed after many years of staying the same, town officials said.At the last council meeting on March 4, an ordinance was adopted so that all the meters in town would increase in time.
Even though signs were posted and stickers put on the meters about the changes near the PATH station meters, many residents are not pleased.
The rest of Harrison’s meters did not change over to the new rates, as of this time.
The meters rose from $4 for the full day (10 hours) to $6 for the full day. The regular rate is now 15 minutes for a quarter, so if you want a full day’s worth of parking, insert 23 quarters and that will give you time until 5:45 p.m. A 24th quarter gives you the full 10 hours of parking time.
