Touch-Screen Parking Meters Come To Lindenhurst

LINDENHURST, NY — New touch-screen parking meters are coming to the Village of Lindenhurst, officials announced Friday.

The village is upgrading its parking meters on Wellwood Avenue to touch-screen parking meter kiosks that accept both coins and credit cards, the village said in a statement.

The new meters are expected to be open for use on Wednesday, June 19.

In addition, it's introducing “pay-by-app” and “pay-by-text” options that allow drivers to pay without using the kiosk.

The new system will also number most parking spaces on Wellwood Avenue which must be noted and entered when beginning any parking transaction, according to village officials.

Drivers parking in a numbered space must use a new parking kiosk or their smartphones to pay for parking, village officials said.

Anyone parking in non-numbered spaces with an old-style parking meter may use the old meters.

To assist drivers making brief stops a few 15-minute free “in-and-out” spaces will remain on both North and South Wellwood.

Below are some additional instructions for the new meters provided by the village:

Parking times and fees remain the same and will be in effect Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Rates are .25 cents per hour with a 3-hour maximum.

According to village officials, the meter's “go live” date for North Wellwood Avenue is June 19. Meanwhile, the South Wellwood Avenue kiosks will go into effect after the road is repaved and the newly-angled spaces are painted and numbered.
