What Do You Think? No More Leftover Meters in Salem

A new parking system is coming to Salem. What do you think?

City residents will no longer be able to sniff out parking spaces with time left on the meter in downtown Salem.

Salem will soon unveil a new parking system with sensors in the road so when a car pulls out of a spot the meter will be reset. 

The decision to switch has struck a chord with some of our readers.
