By John Lee Grant | Haverhill City Council President Melinda E. Barrett. (WHAV News photograph.) The Haverhill City Council says now is not the time to restart paid parking in the downtown area. Council Vice President Colin F. LePage said Tuesday night the purchase all new equipment and signs is in the works but he said any plans to reinstate paid parking before that equipment is in place would be a mistake. “So they’re looking to get all new parking kiosks, meter heads and such and do signing with the new hours and the new rates, but that won’t be in place until three months from now,” he said.
