City of Spokane replacing hundreds of parking meters downtown [Video]

SPOKANE, Wash. – Over 200 dual-space meters in downtown Spokane will be swapped out with 400 single unit parking meters throughout May.

Replacement work will begin on May 6. The municipal government says that the new meters will be more convenient and efficient.

“The only aspect…that will be different…[is] that we’re changing from dual-space to single-space. Everything else, including functionality, rates, two-hour time limits and even the color (lilac) will remain the same,” Director of Parking Services Luis Garcia said.

While meters are being replaced, the parking spots associated with the meters will still be available and will not require payment.

A second round of replacements will take place later in 2024 according to the city.
