Fort Wayne Parking Gets Smarter

Fort Wayne’s city clerk John McGauley is revamping downtown parking to ditch rigid time limits and give drivers real flexibility—whether you’re stuck in a meeting, getting a haircut, or serving on jury duty. With nearly a billion dollars in new development reshaping how people use the area, the goal is to make parking match modern needs, avoid surprise tickets, and keep downtown flowing smoothly. Drivers could soon add time via coins or credit cards at meters, with ParkMobile integration planned (though still in progress). Rollout expected this summer—no firm date yet—but the aim is simpler, smarter parking for everyone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
