10, 000 new parking meters

goal for next year to have the system direct you to open parking spaces

parking rates will vary based on demand, so if you are in downtown during the day when parking is tough, the rate goes up, you go during the weekend the rates drop.

The system will show operators, parking enforcement which meters are in use and which are expired.

The big plus of the system is that it will accept credit cards and you can use the meter directly without walking to a pay station, like the city of Pasadena is doing.
