EASTON, Pa. – During its meeting Wednesday night, Easton City Council OK'd amendments to the vehicle and traffic code, requiring drivers parking in the city to feed meters for a few additional hours.

Once the changes take effect, parking meters in the city will operate between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays, and noon to 7 p.m. on Sundays, with the exceptions of holidays.

Previously, meters had to be paid between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays, and through 6 p.m. on Sundays.

The legislative body eliminated also various definitions from the section governing fees.

One addition involved the North Fourth Street garage, where fees will be charged between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. at $3 per hour, and the lower level will be the domain of two-hour metered parking only.

Both ordinances indicate that changes take effect 30 days following adoption by City Council.

The garage is part of a seven-story mixed-use development planned for 27 S. Third St., which will take the place of the current Pine Street garage.
