Group of residents opposed to new parking meters
SUMMARY: In a recent rally led by former Hinds County Supervisor David Archie, Jackson residents voiced their concerns about parking meters, citing issues such as difficulty for older drivers, expensive citation fees, and lack of clarity on who to contact for disputes. Some attendees criticized the citation process, calling it greedy and unjust. City council members responded by explaining the appeal process, but attendees were unsatisfied. The city council ultimately decided that it would be illegal to cancel the contract with the parking meter company, S&P Plus, leading to ongoing controversy.
The new parking meters in downtown Jackson are sparking a lot of controversy.
