Easton Will Add Ferry Street Parking Meters

City council directs Easton administration to create 17 new meters for Ferry Street.

Easton will add 17 new parking meters to Ferry Street in the neighborhood around .

City council's public safety committee on Tuesday night told the city administration to put together an ordinance that would create those metered spaces, according to the Express-Times.

Meanwhile, the paper reports that resident Terrance Miller has proposed a plan for the revenue those meters would generate. He suggested hiring a part-time employee to coordinate a program that would have work-release prisoners clean the neighborhood.

Miller estimated the meters would generate a little under $1,400 a month.

"Department of Wealth Redistribution" is much more fitting.

I am a veteran school administrator in the New Jersey public schools and I have three young childrenRead More in the district. I am frightened and worried about our schools. What would it take for the PADOE to take over the district? Electing new board members is not enough. We need help from the state as soon as possible. The district needs to be stabilized and then everything from soup to nuts must be assessed by an outside educational entity. Our children deserve much better!

I hear the NFSA does a good job helping school districts and from the list of PA schools a number ofRead More local schools, like Parkland and some in Bucks County participate. Maybe this is something Easton needs to do. http://www.schoolfoundations.org/en/about_nsfa/
