Austin Street Parking Limited, Meters Not Taking Credit Cards

Driving and parking limited between 71st Road and 72nd Avenue.

Parking and driving is limited along Austin Street today to allow for sewer and water line maintenance.

The eastbound lane on the commercial strip is closed to traffic between 71st Road and 72nd Avenue, while no parking is available on either side of the street.

Additionally, parking meters along Austin Street are not accepting credit cards. Numerous drivers reported their cards being declined by the meters.

Alternate side parking has been suspended through Friday for Sukkot, but parking meters are supposed to remain in effect.

Patch wants to know: Have you experienced problems with using credit cards at the meters today?
