Would you pay $3 per hour to park in the French Quarter, CBD and Warehouse District?

Mayor Mitch Landrieu?s administration is banking on it.

Early in the New Year, the city plans to hike parking meter rates across the city, particularly downtown. Rates would double in the tourism and nightlife district, and meter hours there would be extended from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. ? a plan which Stephen Perry, president and CEO of the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), calls ?an attack on the service industry workers who serve us.?

Konrad Kantor is one of those not happy with the plan.?
