Why does Dayton have parking meters?
Metered spaces are intended for short-term parking. They benefit drivers by ensuring that parking spaces regularly become available so they can quickly access downtown destinations, like retail shops, restaurants, or accountants’ and attorneys’ offices. This is good for the businesses who want their patrons to have quick and convenient access to their offices and storefronts. Metered spaces also benefit those patrons as it encourages turnover of parking so spots are constantly becoming available.
