Post-Gazette: City parking rates, hours to increase Wednesday

Higher parking meter rates and extended enforcement hours are scheduled to take effect Wednesday in many Pittsburgh neighborhoods, but the conversation about how to best use parking assets to generate revenue and boost economic development is just beginning.

Hourly rates at city-owned on-street meters are set to increase from $2 to $3 Downtown; from 50 cents to $1 on the North Shore and in Shadyside, South Side and Strip District; and from 50 cents to 75 cents in Brookline, Mount Washington, North Side, Squirrel Hill and Uptown.
