Cedar Rapids Meters and Parking Use Targeted in City Study
A Cedar Rapids parking survey by Harland Bartholomew and Associates found 26 percent of one hour metered spaces violated and 37 percent in nonmetered zones. The report urges reducing two hour spaces to one hour and adjusting meter lengths to better fit demand, with wide revisions to on street and off street space allocations to increase efficiency. It notes 22 percent of vehicles in certain spaces stay up to three hours and discusses implications for downtown curbside and municipal lots.
