Ah, the City and County of Denver, inspired by Looney Tunes.
8:15 am meeting at Denver District Court. Found a parking meter just two blocks away. Pleased to see the parking meter accepted credit cards. Except, credit card didn’t work. OK, feed quarters. Rejected. WTF? Oh well, a parking ticket is $20 and my meeting is worth much more. The private lots are unattended, and $9.
Leaving City Hall, I see a Parking Enforcement worker writing a ticket for some poor soul who parked in a construction zone. When he was finished, asked him about the meter.
He asked where I parked. He then explained parking is free at night but the meters won’t accept money until 8 a.m. The good news he shared was my parking spot was on his route but he had yet to cover that block - no ticket.
Most Court functions require you check in by 8:15. Can’t pay for public parking until 8 a.m. Still trying to bend my mind around the “thinking” that created this system.
For inquiring minds, the Court matter was of a civil nature.
