TAMPA — instance has run out for on-street parking meters in Ybor City. They will be replaced with free, two-hour parking space by the next few months, Mayor Pam Iorio announced Tuesday.

"I think it will help bring more folks to Ybor City," Iorio said. "It will help particularly with the lunch and dinner crowds."

Tom Keating, president of the Ybor City Chamber of Commerce, said society often

get tickets considering the meters are in disrepair or it isn’t clear what days and times the meters are enforced.

"It’s just too complicated and humans form mistakes," he said. "folks come here to have a good day and occasionally they will get a ticket, and that is a naughty experience, particularly when you’re on vacation."
