St. John's city council hopes to award a contract to develop a new pay-for-parking system this spring. One could argue the city already has cashless parking on many downtown streets and city parking lots already, but while some see vandalized, headless meters as an opportunity for free parking, city council sees it differently. The City of St. John's wants to make the choice easier. The heads have been taken from some meters in Churchill Square and streets around St. John's. As headless meters continue to bristle the streets and parking lots of St. John's the losses keep mounting.
