Got Glasses? Cell Phone? Binoculars? Ladder? Patience?

If both parking spaces facing the two scannable signs on the pole are occupied simultaneously, won't the vehicles be in the way of people trying to pay to park WITH THEIR PHONES, including the drivers of the two vehicles?  Or are the signs scannable if you stand directly under them?  Doesn't the city want all its parking lots to be full of vehicles as often as possible?

But where is Columbia Street?  And how near to it
is the kiosk?
This is the plastic-laminated temporary sign that was on the same pole until a few days ago.  Along with others, it is on its way to a landfill.  At least it offered some assistance -- if not perfect -- in getting people to the lot's only kiosk that is located where no one would expect it to be.  The lot's new permanent signs don't offer any such assistance.

Here is another HUDseen prediction:  By the end of March, two of the four part-time HPD parking enforcers will have quit in frustration.
