New Downtown Parking Signs and Art Meters 
Making Parking Downtown Easier and Fun

The City of Houston has begun to de-clutter and simplify Houston's downtown parking system. The project will improve signage, meters, mobility lanes, commercial zones and parking communications to make parking easier for the 20,000 to 30,000 people who park downtown each day as well as the many Houstonians and visitors who come downtown for entertainment, sports etc. The Downtown Parking Signage Project completion is targeted for summer 2014.

Additionally, Mayor Annise Parker recently introduced the very first art meter sculptures in the nation. Four local artists were chosen to design the sculptures: Car and Meter History by Devon Moore (1300 Nance, Houston 77002), Found Art designed by David Medina (1300 Sterrett, Houston 77002), Gumball Machine designed by Ketria Scott (1400 Nance, Houston 77002) and Wind Blown Meters designed by Anthony Shumate (3 meters on 1200 Sterrett, Houston 77002).

Visit the six art parking meter sculptures designed by these local artists, in partnership with Houston Arts Alliance, in the heart of the Warehouse District area of downtown.

If the Mayor got rid of the parking meters THAT would make parking easier.

Why would the elected monkeys squander an opportunity to nickel and dime us?

Will these developments help Parker's reelection campaign as an advantage ?
