Faster, greener parking at City garages
Parking tokenThe City's three parking garages are getting new pay systems that  save time, money and even the environment. Customers can choose to pay by credit card, or take a reusable plastic parking token that tracks how long they've parked and can be updated with validations from participating businesses. The new system is expected to save more than $1 million over the next 10 years, eliminates wasteful paper parking slips, and will allow garages to operate 24/7. Installation will take place over several months; the Broadway garage has the new pay system in place as of Monday, March 8. For more information, go to http://www.wcparking.org/.
