New pay stations have been installed in the Cordell-St. Elmo Public Parking Garage 40 in downtown Bethesda. You pay by typing in the stall number of your parking space, making your payment, and then taking your receipt. As the name suggests, the garage fronts onto Cordell Avenue and St. Elmo Avenue. It's a convenient garage for patrons of popular businesses like Caddies on Cordell, Chef Tony's, and George's Chophouse.

It's not clear from your article - do you need to place a receipt on your dashboard before you leave the garage?
5:50AM No
5:55 AM A better parking payment system in our garages is pretty big news.
Even impacts those who live in Frederick and park in our downtown garages for work.
Garages 35, 36, 42, 57 and Lot 25 are getting pay stations as well.
Great! I won't need to keep a little bag of quarters with me.
7:56 AM Now, now- Be nice to the MoCo mallwalker bloggers that Dyer inspired.
They've got lots of free dead sea mineral skin cream and candies gratis recently at the mall.

Why don't you email him? Seems like that would be a much more efficient way of contacting him, rather than waiting in joyless hope that he will see your comment here, someday. Aren't you the one who is always saying that commenters here should just email Dyer directly?

Hey, lucky for us the protective cover of the parking meter device was somehow dislodged, and you could get a great photo.
Bethesda parking garages are a mess when it comes to payment. They all use differnt methods. The Cap Crescent garage you get a ticket upon entry, pay at a pay station, and insert ticket to exit.
The Bethesda Row garage has meters.
The garage across from the metro you take a ticket, then pay a live attendant when exiting.
Now it seems the Cordell garage you'll enter a space number to pay; no tickets.
Why can't they come up with one style of charging across all garages?
@ 7:48 PM - The Bethesda Row garage, AKA Garage 57 - Bethesda Elm garage, is one of those on the list provided by @ 6:59 AM that is being converted from individual meters to pay stations. All the garages not on that list are gated, so when the conversion is complete, there will be only two types of garages - gated or with pay station.
@6:12 That's an improvement, but not that. Great. Why not make them all pay station or all gated? Why does it need to be inconsistent?
