The new parking system is a failure. Phoenixville has a chance to recover as a town but the new paid parking system is hurting local businesses. These paid lots are driving more people to leave Phoenixville quicker and visit less locations.
Is the government of Phoenixville actually aregent enough to think they are the ones driving the revitilization of the town. There not, local businesses are the ones that are driving it. Phoenixville's goverment is now getting in the way and will slow if not stop the recovery of phoenixville.

Agreed! And if you've noticed, the Phoenix Federal Lot this weekend (when the bank was closed) had cones set up at its parking entrances. Also the church on Gay Street has barriers up on their parking lot during the week.
No free parking anywhere in Fonnysville.
Hello malls, Pottstown, Exton, Oaks, KofP & 'Goodbye' downtown Phonysville.

Meters and box payments have been tried in the past. They have not paid their way then, why should we expect to have them pay now. It's one thing if the income meets the cost - it's another when the cost has to be borne by the taxpayers of the community.
How much did it cost the Borough (taxpayers) to have these up-to-date tech systems installed?
Will the cost ever match the income before the system becomes outdated?
Is this just another 'white elephant' that will just end in a tax increase for the residents?
Remember the past - don't let it grab you in the @#$% again!

The death of Phoenixville (Guest)
Phoenixville just dose not have the draw yet to support a paid parking system. There getting greedy ahead of themselves. They need to eliminate the parking costs until the community is more built up. From what I can tell even resturants are getting less customers.
Then again why would Phoenixville care about there business community. They will simply find out the hard way they needed business more than business needs them.
Everyone welcome to the downward spiral of Phoenixville. It was almost a good community. Almost.

hahahaha. the lots are sooo empty during the day, i can't imagine they will ever make the money to pay for the meters, let alone the peoples' wages to enforce and the labor costs to install the system. and it seems the roads are always more congested with people trying find somewhere to park.
whoever helped make this decision FAILED.

Forget it. They go in too far - it's hard to pull them out without a thin nosed pliers. And half the time they don't work any way.
What we need is a BIG parking lot outside of town with a FREE shuttle bus running every 10 minutes from the lot to places down town.
