SPOKANE, Wash. — The City of Spokane will begin replacing dual-space meters with single-space meters.

The installation will begin Monday, May 6, and is expected to take up to two weeks.

Two-hundred dual-space meters will be replaced with 400 single-space meters.

• Dual-space meters will be relocated and installed in outlying areas of the city to be determined.
• Moving to single-space meters in the core will streamline the current parking space reservation process and improve customer experience.
• No impacts are expected to events, streets, or sidewalks during installation.
• On blocks with active installation, parking customers will not be subjected to tickets for lack of payment. All other parking rules still apply.
• A second round of swap-outs is expected for later this year.

“The only aspect of these new meters that will be different from the status quo will be 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. These meters will also not be installed in any new areas,” said Luis Garcia, Director of Parking Services.
