From the article:

>
> The City of Regina is shifting to digital-only parking payment as of next week,
> effective Sunday March 1.
>
> Downtown meters will no longer accept coins to pay for on-street parking.
> Instead, residents must pay electronically using the PayByPhone smartphone
> app, online at PayByPhone.com or by calling 1-888-680-7275.
"Use this smartphone app" --> requires a smartphone
"Use this website" --> requires a smartphone
"Or call this phone number" --> requires a phone
I do not own a smartphone / cell phone / mobile phone. How the hell am I supposed to pay for downtown parking, which I have to half a dozen times per month?
"Just get a cell phone" is NOT an acceptable response, FWIW.
At a time when cities all across North America and the world are building on pedestrian zones, the administration of Sandra Masters won't give up her dream of tearing down Regina's Scarth Street Mall and opening it up as a drive-thru for food delivery drivers. After hearing from residents that we DON'T WANT IT, Sandra Masters is pushing ahead anyway, with more biased surveys until she gets the answer she wants. Together, regular Regina residents have come together to form an alternative vision of an appealing, attractive, sustainable downtown. Now, we're telling City Council -- Stop the Catalyst Committee, and build a Regina Downtown for People!
