Forty electronic meters would cover the stalls available in Lot B area. Community Services meter maintenance has existing inventory of poles and old housings that can be utilized with the new mechanisms. Electronic meters will allow the future use of the Cash Key System Program in Lot B and continue the upgrade of old mechanical parking meters with new electronic meters in the city.
