This is the 75th anniversary of the on-street parking meter. To celebrate, the City of Raleigh is installing 193 new pay stations for on-street parking. The installation is to be completed by the end of April, barring inclement weather.
Mayor Charles Meeker lead a demo in front of City Hall where the first three pay stations have been installed. The mayor was joined by Duke Hanson, regional vice president for Duncan Solutions, the vendor for the project, and Gordon Dash, the City’s parking administrator.
The new pay stations will be installed throughout Downtown bounded by Edenton, South, Blount and Harrington streets. The pay stations also will be placed along Glenwood Avenue from Hillsborough Street to Peace Street in the Glenwood South area. An additional 20 pay stations will be placed on Hillsborough Street between Oberlin Road and Gardner Street starting in the fall.
