If you get a parking ticket on a Darien street, it’s now going to cost you double or even triple what it cost before: Most violations are doubling, from a $15 ticket to $30 one, and $60 if not paid within 15 days. The Darien Board of Police Commissioners raised the price of tickets for violations on streets (which the commission controls) to match the fines for town parking lots (which the Board of Selectmen controls and already raised). The board held a short public hearing Wednesday at 3:45 p.m., in which no member of the public showed up (it was unclear how much the hearing had been publicized) and then unanimously voted to raise the fines at the board’s regular meeting at 4 p.m.

Little discussion took place before the vote. The Board of Selectmen requested that the police commissioners raise the fines. Here’s a list of the violations and what you’ll pay if you get ticketed for them.
