Buffalo Common Council President Darius Pridgen filed a resolution Wednesday to reverse the plan that enforces metered parking until 10 p.m. and on Saturdays.

A week after the Buffalo Common Council approved a parking price increase and extended the hours for parking regulations in certain areas, lawmakers are expected to reverse some of the changes, at least temporarily.

Council President Darius Pridgen posted to Twitter Wednesday afternoon that he was working on amendments to the policy following increasing backlash from the public.

Pridgen's resolution, which is expected to pass in a vote scheduled for this coming Tuesday, holds off on enforcing meters on Saturdays and returns free parking after 5 p.m., expect for special events and events at the Theater District, Canalside, the KeyBank Center and Sahlen Field. For those events, enforcement will go until 10 p.m.

The changes won't go into effect until April 1, 2019, giving residents time to weigh in. The council has asked Mayor Byron Brown's administration to provide data to back up why the extended enforcement is needed.

Pridgen said he has been working with the administration and parking officials for several days on the pause. Despite that, city crews just put up new signs in the Cobblestone District. Those signs will have to come down if the resolution passes.

It's unclear how much money the city wasted in that effort.

2 On Your Side reached out to the mayor's spokesperson Wednesday morning. We were told the city was working on an afternoon news conference, but then our follow-up requests were ignored.

Parking Commissioner Kevin Helfer did call 2 on Your Side Wednesday evening to discuss the parking changes. He was not able to do an on camera or recorded interview.

Helfer says they feel they have data to back up these parking changes but are willing to go along with this review request from council.

They are willing to meet and suggest options for affected businesses.

The new revised signs with extended enforcement hours will stay up because technically the new ordinance is in effect but again won't be enforced except for special events
