Starting October 1st, 2011, the new St. Petersburg City Budget goes into effect. One aspect of this budget is raising downtown parking meters from $0.75 to $1 an hour. So now, you might be 33.4% more likely to walk farther, ride longer, or stay shorter than before.
Will this increase have an effect on downtown traffic or parking tickets? As a traffic ticket defense attorney in St. Petersburg, I'd be glad to hear your thoughts on the subject. Follow us on twitter@BruceDenson and join the conversation.
