Considering that we are the #1 fast growing tech city in the nation, I’m very surprised Downtown Huntsville has not yet adopted the electronic / smart meter systems like Park Mobile. Coin meters are antiquated, bulky, and most importantly costly. Any new metered parking spots should be electronic and/or mobile pay, while older meters should be progressively changed/added to an electronic system. Electronic systems decrease the amount of cash exchange, while also allowing meter monitors to be more efficient and effective.

Here’s some articles/blogs for why Huntsville should have smart parking:
