Parking Meters Beat National Average in First Dillon Week
Dillon's first week of parking meters shows revenue near the national average of 55 dollars per meter. The initial haul of 119 dollars counted by the city treasurer translates to about 60 cents per meter for three days, with 200 meters in operation yielding roughly 62 dollars per year. Officials expect meters to pay for themselves in two years and boost the street fund by over 10 thousand dollars over the biennium.
