Parking in the neighborhood became more expensive this week. Hourly parking meter rates increased across Manhattan on Monday, including on the Upper West Side.
The meter rate hikes are slated soon for the other boroughs as well, beginning with Queens on October 27. The revenue from the parking meter increases will go toward New York City's general budget.
The Department of Transportation lists the following reasons parking meters are important: they encourage turnover and increase parking availability in high-demand areas, promote shorter parking sessions, and reduce double parking.
