It will be introduced at a ceremony Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the North Water Street parking lot at 11:30 a.m.
The system works via wireless sensors that are embedded in each parking space to detect whether the space is occupied. Data from each sensor is relayed via wireless to the cloud and pushed into an easy-to-use app showing real-time parking availability.
CASE parking, a parking data solutions provider, will collect data from the lots and garages while Streetline has outfitted the on-street parking spots to feed data that will be fed into the new Parker app.
“By staying at the forefront of technology, the Norwalk Parking Authority is improving the parking experience for our customers,” Julius Hayward, chairman of the Norwalk Parking Authority, said in a statement. “It is another indication of the Parking Authority’s commitment to efficiently manage parking to support Norwalk as a great place to live, work and visit.”
