The City of Tulsa started installation of 21 parking pay stations and signage in the Brady Arts District Monday afternoon.
The City expects installation will take a few weeks and new pay stations will be covered until the operational launch date of May 15. On May 15, all pay stations will be active and can be utilized by patrons. Staff will also be on site the week of the launch to help users with the new pay stations, if needed.
In 2015, the City of Tulsa launched a pilot parking meter program in the Brady Arts District in search of a pay station that worked best for Tulsa. Three different parking vendors were permitted to install seven parking pay stations. At the end of the pilot period in 2016, the City of Tulsa selected the Parkeon StradaPal pay station as the new parking meter.
“Parking meters allow turnover for businesses and create a neighborhood amenity for the area,” Steve Ganzkow, President of the Brady Owners Association said. “We believe metered parking will prove beneficial to the many visitors, tenants and business owners in the district and I would like to commend the City of Tulsa for their willingness to work with our leadership during this important transition.”
