The Los Angeles City Council approved a plan Tuesday to convert all of the city's parking meters to prevent motorists from paying for more time than remains in the meter operating hours. “Parking in Los Angeles is hard enough without being overcharged at the meter,” Councilman Bob Blumenfield said. “This change will have a modest impact on the city's overall parking revenue, and it is a small price to pay for becoming more business-, customer- and visitor-friendly. We will no longer nickel-and-dime our customers and instead encourage them to spend their time and money locally.”
