In a shocking turn of events, Waban has demanded that the city install parking meters in Waban Square.  The village long known for its aversion to parking meters seems to have had a change of heart.

Said a spokesperson for the Waban Improvement Society “dealing with the quarters when you’re just running a quick errand will be annoying but without parking meters, we’ll never be a top tier village.”  Answering villagers concerns, the proposal has been amended to have the parking meter fees only apply to non-Waban residents.
