Residents could catch a parking break at the beach if Delray Beach follows through on a suggestion by Commissioner Tom Carney.
Carney’s recommendation would push back the start of metering of beach-area parking about an hour and a half on Monday through Thursday mornings, effectively giving residents a break.
    Currently, motorists must start feeding the meters at 8 a.m., but under Carney’s recommendation that would move to 9:30 a.m.
While anyone parking in the area would benefit, Carney reasoned that those who would be most impacted were nearby residents who might want to park to get a coffee or walk on the beach. The change would not apply to beach area parking Friday through Sunday, which may see metering start at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m.
Even if the metering hours ultimately change, motorists parking in the area will still be held to a two-hour time limit.
