Village of Alfred parking about to change

Good news! The Village of Alfred is entering the digital age. Over the coming weeks, you will notice the antique parking meters coming down.

The old coin operated street parking meters will be replaced with a new parking app, called ParkMobile.

When the meter is about to expire, users can add time without having to go all the way back to their vehicle. They can simply make the change on the app itself without leaving wherever they are.

The new system will officially launch on February 1.

Cost - $1.25 an hour

Minimum of 1 hour, then increases of 12 minutes at 25¢ per increment up to 3 hours maximum.

Seven zones - South Main (both sides), Church (both sides), Mill, West University, and the Municipal Parking Lot.

Hours - 7a.m. until 5p.m., Monday through Friday.

Exemptions - Weekends, Holidays, summer and winter academic breaks.

Payment options - Smartphone App or call toll-free number (text option forthcoming).
