西爾弗頓的便士停車計時器是城市的標誌。現在，它們正在被移除

開車繞著錫爾弗頓市中心尋找停車位，您可能會發現世界上僅存的幾便士停車位之一。

Silverton's iconic penny parking meters are being retired and given to local nonprofits to sell.

Silverton 標誌性的便士停車計時器即將退役，並交給當地非營利組織出售。

The meters, which were installed in 1949, charged a penny for 12 minutes of parking and a dime for two hours.

這些計價器於 1949 年安裝，停車 12 分鐘收費 1 便士，停車 2 小時收費 1 毛錢。

The city began phasing out the penny meters in 2001, but a handful remained scattered throughout downtown.

該市於 2001 年開始逐步淘汰便士計價器，但市中心仍散佈著少數便士計價器。

In May, the city stopped charging for parking and put up signs indicating the meters were not being enforced, allowing people to park for up to four hours at a time.

今年五月，該市停止收取停車費，並張貼了標誌，表明沒有執行計價器，允許人們一次停車最多四個小時。

A resolution passed by the councilors on Dec. 2 now allows parking for up to three hours.

12月2日，議員們通過了一項決議，現在允許停車最多三個小時。

The city is conducting a "visioning" process for downtown, which includes considering the future of parking.

該市正在對市中心進行「願景」進程，其中包括考慮停車的未來。

One option being considered is adding parking kiosks and resuming charging for parking.

正在考慮的一種選擇是增加停車亭並恢復停車收費。

“I will let the facts lead me in my decision making, but I’m not feeling currently that is the way I want to go,” Freilinger said. “I think it spoils the historic downtown feel, and we can come up with a parking situation for free parking with enforcement.”

「我會讓事實引導我做出決定，但我目前並不覺得這是我想要走的路，」弗萊林格說。 “我認為這破壞了歷史悠久的市中心感覺，我們可以在強制執行的情況下提出免費停車的停車方案。”
