PAY TO STAY: New Hoboken Parking Scheme Set to Take Effect

The arbitrary, life-sucking spider web that is Hoboken Parking will be spun a bit wider in 2017, as the City announces the rollout of Hybrid Permit/Meter Parking Zones, effective January 17.

The first phase will impact Uptown Washington Street, all of Hudson Street and Castle Point Terrace.

The City of Hoboken sent out a press release detailing the entire plan, but here’s the crux of the issues for the sake of our readers:

How Will This Affect Me?

I have a Resident Permit: No Change. You do not need to pay the meter in Permit Only (4 hour) zones. You must still pay the meter at 2 hour meter parking zones.

I have a Business, Temporary, Senior, or other parking permit: No Change. You do not need to pay the meter in Permit Only (4 hour) zones. You must still pay the meter at 2 hour meter parking zones.

I am a visitor and have a visitor permit or hang tag: No Change. You do not need to pay the meter in Permit Only (4 hour) zones. You must still pay the meter at 2 hour meter parking zones.

I am a visitor and do not have a visitor permit: You may still park for up to 4 hours at all times but now must pay the meter between 9am and 9pm. You must still pay the meter at 2 hour meter parking zones.

Das Boot

The City estimates that the new meters should generate approximately $1.3 million per year—funds that will reportedly be used for infrastructure improvements.
