Two hours isn’t a whole lot of time. Watching a sports game at your favorite pub, catching a movie, attending a concert or a play, waiting for a table and then really enjoying a nice meal with your friends, playing some sports down on the Mall — all things that take normally take longer than 120 minutes to complete. And if you’re using a car to do any of these things on weeknights inside the District, chances are that parking has been a frustrating issue for you since the city decided to extend enforcing expired meters until 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You’re not alone. DCist staffers broached the issue on our email list last week: when you can’t really leave a venue in the middle of a performance, how are you supposed to abide by a two-hour time limit on parking if the show starts before 8:30 p.m.? (The words “impossible,” “annoying,” “blood from a stone,” and “you’re screwed” factored heavily into the discussion.) But might some relief be on its way? Well, kind of. Michael Neibauer reports in the Washington Business Journal that DDOT will reprogram meters in “high-demand” areas to accept four hours worth of quarters so people could hold spots from 6:30 p.m. on — which, if rate hikes in Adrian Fenty’s budget pass, could mean plunking 48 quarters into a meter in places like Georgetown or on the Mall. So while you may not have to excuse yourself in the middle of the film to feed the meter, you’ll probably need to invest in one behemoth of a change purse.
