City of Columbia to install 30 new parking meters near Flat Branch Park

The City of Columbia Parking Utility is installing 30 new parking meters this week near Flat Branch Park, from Fourth Street to Cherry Street. The new meters are part of a citywide update of 1,600 new meters planned for January.

The new meters are being installed for the purpose of staff training, but can be used by the public. Once all of the new meters are installed in January, they will accept coins, the Parkmobile app and pre-paid parking cards.

The 30 meters will only accept change as of right now. The meter vendor is MacKay Meters.
