- I parked at the meters outside this parking area which is monitored by Colonial Parking, and got back to my car with 2 minutes still left on my meter and a ticket from 4 minutes before that (so 6 minutes was left on the meter at the time of the ticket). I took this to the parking garage office and they said they will look into for me, which I appreciate, but am not hopeful. I informed them that this type of behavior has happened to me before. Why they give out tickets to people who are lawfully paying the meters and try to rip them off is beyond me. It causes me great concern for this company's business practices, and I will be notifying the general manager of the Market Commons as well to make them aware of this situation and potential business ethics issue.
