Calgary’s parking technology will soon be replacing outdated metres in downtown Edmonton.
A trial, beginning this week, will allow drivers in Edmonton to pay for downtown street parking with credit cards and cell phones.
The Calgary Herald reports Edmonton is the first large city outside Calgary to try out the parking technology.
