It has always been difficult to park in Summit. Well today I found that it is impossible. I finally found a spot on the street this afternoon and to my astonishment was confronted with a meter that does not take money. I spent 15 minutes on my phone where it seemed I had to register to pay for my spot by entering my license plate number credit card number and expiration date. Then it asked for my zip code only to be told it was invalid. I tried the whole process again. No luck. I was already 10 minutes late for my doctor's appointment and so I just left my car in the spot. At home, I registered (I had taken a picture of the meter with my phone) and told them what had happened. Hopefully it will be resolved. But there are several things that were not thought through at all. (1) Not everyone has a smart phone (2) Those of us with smart phones may not be so eager to register for a parking service with company we know nothing about. (3) What about older people who will never be able to muddle through this awkward process. (4) Not everyone has a phone with them all the time. (5) It already takes 10 - 15 minutes to find a parking space. Add another 15 minutes to pay for your parking spot. After this, I will see my doctor in his office in Bernardsville just to avoid this absurd inconvenience. Summit used to be a fun place to go out to eat and shop. There are too many other towns that seem happy to have me there...
