Beware of rules

Richmond - The Editor, On Thursday July 10, my wife and I had a double appointment with an ophthalmic physician and surgeon at Central Square in Richmond We were advised it would take one and a half hours.
Richmond - The Editor, On Thursday July 10, my wife and I had a double appointment with an ophthalmic physician and surgeon at Central Square in Richmond We were advised it would take one and a half hours.Nowhere could we see a parking meter or notice of parking times.When we returned to our car a parking ticket was attached to our windscreen.We then found out that the limit was half an hour.That information was printed on the ground, we were told.Shouldn't the doctor's office have told us?I contested the ticket and had it reduced from $60, if paid within seven days, to $20, if I paid right away.I paid the $20.I would suggest that everyone parking anywhere in Richmond be extra careful.Certain companies seem to enjoy an unfair advantage.Vincent MurrayRichmond
