I'm sure there's something in the contract to prevent this, but couldn't they keep the meters and then post a "No Parking" or "Bus Parking Only" or even "Parking from 11:59PM-12:00AM"?
- matthewowen 3y agoKeep the parking, but make the entire street bus only. Good luck getting to that parking spot!
- User23 3y agoOr put cowcatchers on the busses and drive right on through the bus lane. Sure you can legally park there, and you can get your car legally demolished in a bus collision.
- dh2022 3y agoThe city would then have to pay out of their pocket for the revenue miss due to not collecting parking on that "entire street bus only". the guaranteed payments are the crux of the matter. (Not that I feel sorry for the city of Chicago or its citizens. Why did they keep electing the same corrupt people over and over again?)
- justrealist 3y agoThe thing about the contract law is that it is adjudicated by humans who are enthusiastic about shooting down BS attempts to wiggle out of binding terms.
- alistairSH 3y agoNice try but the contract has revenue guarantees. The city has to pay whether or not the parking spaces get used.
- idbehold 3y agoI mean, if they're allowed to remove the parking (even if the city still has to pay) that means they could get rid of the Kafkaesque bus lane situation, no?
- alistairSH 3y agoYeah, they just can’t get out without paying.
