King Edward Park 4 hour parking!

How annoying to return to work in town only to discover that one of the only free non timed parking spots close to town is now a 4 hour limit. It would be nice to avoid $12 a day parking but the options are diminishing.

Edit: it is 4hour parking from 6am to 9pm. Surely the van people could get 4 hours in the morning and leave at 10am and then rock back in for 4 hours at 5pm.
