For motorists who have enjoyed all day free parking around the Halifax Common, that's about to change, as the city is about to install a new type of pay and display machines on Rainnie Drive, Ahern Avenue, Trollop and parts of Cogswell streets.
Halifax Regional Municipality's parking bylaw has to be changed first — that should take place in September — then the new machines will be ordered.
The city expects to have them in place before Christmas.
The CBC's Pam Berman has more on prospective parking pains around the Halifax Common.
