ZELIENOPLE — Parking was discussed once again by borough council Monday evening.

Council President Allen Bayer said he has “reached the point of frustration” regarding complaints about the electronic parking kiosks in the borough.

“One of the problems is people complain about what they see, but they can’t give us any detail,” Bayer said. “We don’t know how to fix that.”

The borough has two kiosks in place now at the parking lot between Main and Spring Streets and between Main Street and Grandview Avenue. The kiosks are meant to replace traditional metered poles.

Another kiosk is planned for the new municipal parking lot on West New Castle Street behind the Kaufman House.

One suggestion made was to have parking lot users pay by entering their cars’ license plate number.

However, Police Chief Jim Miller said enforcement that way would be a problem.

Each police car has a smart phone. Police can pull up the app on their phones and see which spots have been paid for.

Bayer said the borough may have someone monitor the kiosks to potentially identify any issues people have with them.

He also said bigger signs may be needed to help people with payment.

“Hopefully if someone sits there for a week or two, they can give us some positive feedback,” Bayer said.

Bayer said he wants to see if any problems exist with the kiosks before taking action. He said the screens on the kiosks have been improved recently to be more visible.

Officials previously said poles will be removed throughout the borough eventually. Council earlier this year approved free two-hour parking on Main Street as a way to better appeal to businesses.

Borough engineer Tom Thompson said the parking lot, planned to have 111 spaces, will be completed by December.

Previous plans had the parking lot scheduled for a late October completion.

Miller said the unfinished lot was illegally used this weekend when people parked there during the Country Fall Festival. A gateway meant to block cars from entering the area was moved Saturday.
