UI Parking Tickets and Meter Conversions in Iowa City
UI Parking and Transportation reports a shift from meters to cashiered and pay stations since 1988. Fines and enforcement rose in smaller sites while large metered lots were converted, reducing tickets and encouraging alternative transport amid Zipcar and bike programs. Total tickets annulled or canceled reached 9,140 in the last budget year, with ongoing efforts to ease campus parking and explore credit card meters.

Sun Valley flood berm to curb repeated flooding
City moves forward with a 1 million Sun Valley flood protection berm along Indian Creek. The berm will rise 6 to 8 feet, sit above the 500 year flood level, and may be flooded with sandbags during high water. Neighbors credit local residents and engineers for driving the project and a wetter spring delays construction until after the flood season.
