6:30 a.m. 6 people in front of me
7:45 a.m. approx. 20 people in back of me.
In at 7:45 a.m.; out at 8:13 a.m.
An officer was pulling people out of line who where there to register firearms. Looks like HPD has changed its registration procedures and is requiring electronic signatures on the permit. The permit is then printed out on an 8.5 X 11" paper.
I heard there's a smart phone app tied to the electronic parking meters for the City. It supposedly allows you to monitor the amount of time left on your meter and add more $. If this is true, it would save some of you from paying an additional "registration fee" of $35. Haven't been able to confirm the existence of this app as of this writing. I heard that info regarding this app may exist in the fireams registration section at HPD. It would help if someone could confirm this.
when the officer came out to help the line shorten really quick since had alot of permit pick ups only
not sure if that system is still active. i remember hearing about them in downtown and chinatown area but the program failed because people complained vehicles would be parked at the meters all day and owners would feed the meter via Apps. stores in the area didnt like cause customers could never find parking since workers in the area would just park in that stall all day long. kinda defeating the purpose of 2 hour limit parking.
another option is to park at blaisdell i believe its 8 dollars in/out a day its good if you pick up your permit and return the same day to register. saves time looking for parking and peace of mind not worrying about the meter
