Anyone hoping to pick up a permit the last day
before the city rolled out its new downtown parking regulations was shut out of
City Hall on Monday: A flood of sewage 2 feet deep damaged the furnace and
closed the building for the day, city officials said.
City Hall was closed because of "flood-related and heating issues," said Bob Van Amburgh, an aide to Mayor Jerry Jennings, and no alternative location to obtain permits was set up in the meantime.
The city's permit parking system, which has been in the works for years and seen its rollout delayed multiple times, will take effect Tuesday morning as planned. It covers 2,750 parking spaces in three residential zones near Empire State Plaza, limiting anyone who does not live there from parking on city streets for more than two hours.
Motorists still have a month until the permit system could hit their wallets. Police and parking enforcement officers will issue warnings to violators for the first 30 days.

"It is our goal to make sure everyone has been informed about this new parking system and that they have ample time to adjust," Smith said.
General Services Commissioner Nicholas D'Antonio said officials closed City Hall when a sewer backup between 2 and 2? feet deep in a basement furnace room damaged the furnace's controls, leaving the building without heat.
Repairs were under way, and "We're being told that it should be up and running tonight," D'Antonio said Monday.
Water to adjacent Pine Street was briefly cut off when a nearly century-old valve used to control the city's water mains broke, said John Kosa, assistant commissioner of the Department of Water and Water Supply.
The valve was shut off to isolate the flow of water into City Hall to determine whether the flooding was caused by leaks, Kosa said. But when the 1917 valve was turned back on, it broke, causing a leak on Pine that forced crews to stop the flow of water to make the repair.

Since mid-December, about 1,000 permits have been issued, according to city officials. More residents live in the affected zones than there are spaces, so having a permit does not guarantee you'll find a parking spot.

The Pittsburgh Parking Authority will consider a request from City Council to offer electronic cards for use at nearly 600 new multi-space meters, the authority‘s executive director said Tuesday.
Councilman Corey O‘Connor, who suggested the idea, said the authority could bill customers monthly or allow them to put value on the cards in advance either at its offices or online.Wholesale various Glass Mosaic Tiles from china glass mosaic Tiles Suppliers.
“Well explore the possibilities,” authority Executive Director David Onorato said. “We‘re always looking to expand on the technology.”
The authority‘s board last month authorized Onorato to seek bids from companies for developing a program that would allow motorists to pay for on-street parking via cell phone. The board also approved spending $35,000 on technology for an online system of reserving spaces in Downtown parking garages.
About 94 percent of residents surveyed last year indicated they were satisfied with the new meters, which take credit cards and coins, but O‘Connor said council continues to receive complaints. He said the new cards would be a “user-friendly” way to pay for parking.
The authority installed 557 of the new meters for street parking in Oakland, Bloomfield, Downtown, the Strip District, North Shore and South Side. It also has them in surface parking lots.
O‘Connor said the meters are capable of being programmed to accept pre-paid cards, but Onorato said he would have to confirm that with the manufacturer. The meters require motorists to enter their license plate number, and O‘Connor said the cards could automatically provide that information.
