$750,000 in Parking Tickets Refunded
The city of Los Angeles has refunded $750,000 in recent months to motorists who were improperly issued tickets based on faulty parking meters, according to Transportation Department head Frances Banerjee.
Banerjee told the City Council on Friday that the 24,000 refunds take care of all legitimate appeals filed by motorists after new parking meters installed two years ago had widespread problems.
“I want to assure the council members that the parking meters are fixed,” Banerjee said at a meeting in which the council confirmed her as head of the agency.
