The fines for parking violations in downtown Dartmouth and peninsular Halifax have just gone up. The higher fines were endorsed by council in February, but linked to the installation of a new parking system that will see some traditional meters replaced with pay by plate stations. Parking tickets will increase from $25 to $35. Waye Mason pointed out that not every street in a zone will get the pay by plate stations and asked that a list of the new stations be posted on the city's website. Halifax also wants to increase the fines for parking in a fire lane, on a crosswalk or in an accessible parking space from $100 to $150.
