The changing technology has meant Oklahoma City's parking meters have been operating on borrowed time. "The companies just plain and simple don't support the technology anymore," says Cory Hubert, Oklahoma City's parking services manager. Motorists' mostly hate-hate relationship with the parking meter began in 1935, when the first one sprouted here. "The parking meter is a perfect example of a pivot point on how people got around in American urban areas," he said. Commerce won out, and the parking meter was born, in part, to keep traffic moving.
