Comments on: Toronto looks to Charlottetown on parking problem http://ward3brighton.ca/blog/2008/06/24/137 Councillor Rob Lantz - Charlottetown | Ward 3 (Brighton) Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:14:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Councillor Rob Lantz http://ward3brighton.ca/blog/2008/06/24/137/comment-page-1#comment-100922 Councillor Rob Lantz Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:43:54 +0000 http://ward3brighton.ca/blog/2008/06/24/137#comment-100922 <p>I think there's a place for an appeal process, as long as it's not being abused. If someone is mistakenly ticketed for parking in a one-hour zone ($25 -- only meter tickets are $5 if paid within seven days) they will want to have some recourse. I'll make some inquiries and find out how many people actually dispute tickets.</p> I think there’s a place for an appeal process, as long as it’s not being abused.

Really -- disputing a $5 parking ticket is almost borderline insane. I'd like to see this removed as an option for those who opt to park without paying or park as they please. Maybe if the ticket was $25 or $50, but $5... this seems like an abuse of the system to me. What do you say, councillor?
