Impact analysis
The parking system lost about $541,000 last year and needs $900,000 in new revenue by 2032, so the new operator's pricing and enforcement choices will hit downtown drivers and businesses directly.
Downtown visitors and businesses get modern parking technology and better-managed ramps and street parking.
Incumbent Interstate Parking loses the contract, and some downtown business owners feel shut out of the decision.
