NEW FACES: Eighteen new parking meters are being tested in West Hollywood and 12 in Beverly Hills. Solar panels are the main source of power, with support from a backup battery. Officials say the new meters cost about the same as traditional machines.The parking meters are outfitted with high-tech, solar-powered credit card reading mechanisms, courtesy of a partnership between West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
