Several Bethlehem City Council members agree that meter fines – the stick used to get motorists not to overstay their welcome at primo metered spots – are too low at $10.But, before hiking the fines, a couple of council members floated the idea of offering motorists a carrot – free parking.At a committee meeting Tuesday, Councilwoman Paige Van Wirt asked that the Bethlehem Parking Authority consider a pilot study that would provide free parking for a couple of hours in sections of the downtowns and then double or triple the parking fines on those who violate the rules.
