How does the parking meter in cutter ave lot work?

I parked in the cutter ave lot today and got a parking ticket despite paying for what I though was for 3 hrs. Does anybody know to how to make that meter actually work? I can never tell if I've actually paid for a space.

free stuff! (for the next hour)

Community Path extension is sort of open now

[ron_newman]

Some time in the past few days, the Community Path extension was fully paved from Cedar Street to just beyond Lowell Street. They've taken away the chain-link gates and the "Construction Area - No Trespassing" signs at the Cedar Street end, so people are now walking (and walking their dogs) on the new pavement.

The path entrances from Maxwell's Green are still blocked by chain-link fencing, but there are gaps in the fences that appear to have been deliberately left open.

The path currently dead-ends past the Lowell Street bridge, because they haven't yet built the U-turn ramp up to the bridge. (Are they also planning to build a stairway? I can't quite tell.) There is no fence or railing yet to protect you from walking off the edge and tumbling down the hill to the railroad tracks. Also, no lighting has been installed yet, and a lot of landscaping is still in progress.
