Vincent McGarey and others from the city are spending the next couple of days installing smart meters on Valencia and Mission Streets as well as a few side streets.
The meters will work with the sensors already plugged into the asphalt to read whether a space is clear or filled. That information will go to a data center that will raise or lower parking prices depending on demand.
The installations will go on through December in seven pilot areas that include 6,000 of the city’s 25,000 metered spaces and 12,250 spaces in city-owned garages. For more information on SF Park, go here.
