YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THE PARKING METERS ALONG 7TH AVENUE IN BEAVER FALLS ARE HALF MISSING. THAT’S BECAUSE CHIEF DELUCCA MADE THE CALL TO REMOVE THE HEADS OF THE METERS BECAUSE THE PLASTIC BAGS KEPT COMING OFF AND PEOPLE BEGAN FEEDING THE METERS THEIR COINS. THE CITY OF BEAVER FALLS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE HOW THE ELIMINATION OF THE METERS WOULD AFFECT LOCAL BUSINESSES IN THE CITY. CHIEF DELUCCA SAYS THE “FREE PARKING” PHASE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AT LEAST THE END OF THE SUMMER.
