The city's Department of Transportation is offering some relief to drivers by making changes to Muni-Meters.
Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D - Brooklyn) says Muni-Meters will soon accept pre-payments of up to an hour before they begin working for the day.
Currently, drivers must either wait at the meter or return to it to pay for parking.
The meters are scheduled to be reprogrammed citywide starting early this winter.
