What this means
Parking Utility revenue is not keeping pace with operating expenses, so higher downtown meter rates are being considered. More than half of on-street parking revenue now comes through ParkMobile, but the City said it will not switch to app-only payments. Parking meter updates are complete, and a report is being prepared on exterior, drainage, and ceiling conditions at the Fifth and Walnut garage.
