Village fights back against its ‘hogs'

SKANEATELES - When the weather is nice, convenient parking in the lakeside village of Skaneateles is nearly impossible to find.

To the chagrin of village merchants, current parking rules have allowed “too many people to hog (spots) all day,” said Alan Dolmatch, a village trustee who helped oversee a two-year review of village parking.

As a result of the recommendations from Dolmatch and the village parking committee, the village has installed meters which charge 25 cents for each half-hour, including Sundays between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. The village's parking revenues are already up because of the increase in meter rates and the installation of new and reliable meters.
