Meters will still accept coin or credit card payments, but have added the option to pay via the app as part of the ongoing downtown strategic parking plan.

Rates and time limits at meters are also changing, with the price to park at most meters increasing from 50 cents to $1 an hour. Some lesser-used meters will cost 50 cents an hour, and in-demand meters will increase to $1.50 per hour.
