Halifax regional council has approved changes to the municipality's new parking system, including lifting the four-hour time limit per zone. Parking meters in peninsular Halifax and downtown Dartmouth were replaced last October with digital pay stations and zones. "You would hope that it would be cheaper to go to the off-street parking rather than use the on-street parking," said Coun. Victoria Horne, who is responsible for HRM's parking program, told councillors the free parking has led to a number of accidents and complaints. "The majority of parking available will be by permit, reserved for commuter parking," said Horne.
