Portsmouth Parking Goes Digital

Portsmouth’s downtown is getting a tech upgrade: scan a QR code with your phone to pay for parking, starting soon. First two hours remain free, but after that, High Street costs $3/hour and garages $2/hour—enforcement runs 8 AM to 6 PM, with free parking weekends and holidays. City officials say the goal is to boost foot traffic and keep streets open for shoppers, while local business owners worry about public reaction. The system will be fully rolled out by late summer, with new signs and support to help drivers adapt. After months of community input, the city promises this digital shift will balance convenience with accessibility. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
