For decades, anyone parking on the street in Downtown Athens has had to pay using a solar-powered parking meter. But soon, that forest of poles lining downtown sidewalks will be gone in favor of a parking payment app.
David Lynn, director of planning and outreach for the Athens Downtown Development Authority, sat down with WUGA’s Havivah Saltz to discuss the changes. He says the meter changes should go into effect by the time UGA students return to school.
