Parking Meter Mess: Schedule of Fee Hikes?

city_of_chicago_seal_400x400.jpg My thought upon reading this article on the fallout from the parking meter 'snafu' was, did anyone have a schedule of anticipated price hikes?

I'm not talking five or ten years out -- I'm talking five or ten weeks. Did anyone know if and by how much fees would be raised within that short amount of time?

This kind of short-term information would have been useful in assessing just how lousy an idea this deal was.

Given the example of the parking lots in Grant Park, I think such an analysis would have been the first thing I would have asked for.
