西尔弗顿的便士停车计时器是城市的标志。现在，它们正在被移除

开车绕着锡尔弗顿市中心寻找停车位，您可能会发现世界上仅存的几便士停车位之一。

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

Silverton 标志性的便士停车计时器即将退役，并交给当地非营利组织出售。

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

这些计价器于 1949 年安装，停车 12 分钟收费 1 便士，停车 2 小时收费 1 毛钱。

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

该市于 2001 年开始逐步淘汰便士计价器，但市中心仍散布着少数便士计价器。

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，该市停止收取停车费，并张贴了标志，表明没有执行计价器，允许人们一次停车最多四个小时。

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

12月2日，议员们通过了一项决议，现在允许停车最多三个小时。

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

该市正在对市中心进行“愿景”进程，其中包括考虑停车的未来。

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

正在考虑的一种选择是增加停车亭并恢复停车收费。

“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.”

“我会让事实引导我做出决定，但我目前并不觉得这是我想要走的路，”弗莱林格说。 “我认为这破坏了历史悠久的市中心感觉，我们可以在强制执行的情况下提出免费停车的停车方案。”
