Fredericksburg moves toward high-tech parking fee system
The City Council of Fredericksburg voted last night to buy the 100-thousand dollar Tannery Creek's AutoChalk system, which uses cameras and a GPS to monitor parking in the town's parking spots.
The system - using information from the vehicle license number - generates a ticket to be sent by mail to the owner.
Supporters say officers the device allows police to do their work more efficiently. But opponents wonder about AutoChalk's accuracy.
A second vote is required in two weeks to make the purchase.
Only one other city, Canton, Ohio, has bought the system.
