SUMMARY: The City of Jackson is losing revenue due to broken parking meters, prompting the installation of new touchscreen kiosks in the downtown area. Despite the $1.00 per hour parking cost and a two-week grace period, some residents are concerned about additional expenses. Others see the kiosks as a positive step towards progress. Suggestions for using the revenue generated include infrastructure improvements and addressing other needs of the city. Overall, opinions on the kiosks are mixed, with some residents supporting the move as a way to collect additional revenue. Enforcement of the new parking requirement will be done by the Jackson Police Department and the meter managing company SP Plus.
