It's easy to move about the city and see the number of parking meters that are in disrepair, and how the city is losing out on the opportunity to capture additional revenue.
Things are about to change, reports Amy Haimerl of Crain's Detroit Business.
Here's some key changing, according to Crain's:
- The city will adopt a “parking by plate” technology. That means parking meters will be gone in most locations. Instead, users will pay at a kiosk and payment will be attached to their license plate rather than spot number, allowing drivers to pay for a segment of time and use it at any spot in they city.
- There will be a mobile app that will accept payment and identify open spots.
Brown plans to role out a pilot system by the end of March around 7 Mile and LIvernois.
