Rochester Bureau of Parking — Local services in City of Rochester

This place is horrible due to the overall poor leadership in our city. I received a few parking tickets in the downtown area where I work. I received two tickets for parking at a meter that was not in non-working order and another at a meter where I have proof from the actual app that I had paid for the time I was parked there, yet I still received the ticket.

Challenging enough going downtown with all the crime, but now topped off by a parking bureau that has gone completely rogue, unchecked and condoned by the Mayor's office. As it's often said, you can put lipstick on a pig but...
