Brinks to Collect Cedar Rapids Parking Meter Coins
Cedar Rapids will save about 3000 dollars yearly by using Brinks armored guards to collect parking meter money. Two police officers previously handled coin pickup. Brinks now collects from 1250 plus meters five days a week at a cost of 500 dollars monthly. Guards tour four routes two hours daily, delivering funds to Merchants National Bank via Brinks vehicles.
