Whats actually changing with the meters?
Number one, you’ll notice that the actual parking meter might look a little different as Pay Boxes are now replacing old-style meters. The Pay Boxes will allow payment by credit or debit cards, accepting Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover. However, quarters will still be accepted. Secondly, the rules of the meters may have changed. While a majority of meters continue to be free from the hours of 9:01 p.m. to 7:59 a.m., please check the meter for specific hours of operation. And, for further clarification, refer to pages 13-19 of the December 4, 2008 Journal of Proceedings of the City Council of the City of Chicago, Illinois: http://www.chicityclerk.com/journalofproceedings00.php Thirdly, rates are changing. Visit our Cost & Hours page for more specific rate information and, as always, double check your meter for specifics.
