 The 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/.
