Twelve parking meters along several blocks in Midtown Harrisburg will go live on Tuesday, the city’s parking operator said late today.
Park Harrisburg said the newly metered area includes the area bordered by Verbeke, Harris, Susquehanna and James streets, including the N. 3rd Street commercial corridor. The company has installed the multi-space meters over the past few months, but has not yet activated them.
All Midtown meters are priced at $1.50 an hour, half the rate of the downtown meters. In addition, the first 15 minutes of time at the newly metered spaces will be free, said Park Harrisburg. For quick store visits, motorists can select an option of only 15 minutes of free parking, then can add time if needed.
Park Harrisburg received the Harrisburg parking concession as part of the city’s financial recovery plan. It has been installing multi-space, digital meters since March in downtown and then Midtown Harrisburg.
The newly metered area covers about 88 parking spaces in Midtown along and near N. 3rd Street.
