    Got the ticket, I know I was in the wrong, already paid. This is month old news but I couldn't find it here so I thought I would post up as a warning for anyone who dropped downtown to do errands in the morning.

    With vacancy rates over 20% I guess they have to make their budget somehow

    From article:

    if you missed out on these notices it's easy to forget some start at 7. Could have made the signs different font or colour at least for the first few months so people don't blindly assume its the same
