Iowa City Approves Windshield Barnacles to Replace Tows for Parking Scofflaws

Rack up enough unpaid parking tickets in Iowa City and the next consequence won’t be a tow truck. It will be a yellow plastic slab stuck to your windshield. The City Council has voted 7–0 to let parking enforcement use the Barnacle, a device that clamps onto a windshield with suction cups and blocks the driver’s view until the fines are paid. City staff pitched it as a cheaper and faster alternative to towing for cars on the impound list. That list currently starts at $150 in unpaid fines. The city raised that threshold from $50 to $150 late last year.

Large Grant for Public Transit

The Black Hawk County Gaming Association has awarded a $750,000 grant to improve public transit in Waterloo and Cedar Falls. A joint initiative between the cities and MET Transit is looking to raise a total of $4.6million to fund a micro-transit pilot program. The program will use smaller passenger vans to navigate designated zones to provide shared rides that connect riders directly to their destination or link them efficiently to MET Transit’s existing fixed route bus network. Ideally, it would be a “first-mile/last-mile” connector. Specific passenger fares remain under evaluation but the program aims to lower transit barriers, shorten travel times, and increase ridership across the transit system.
