APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – Appleton’s Common Council this week approved a contract to allow drivers to use credit cards to pay for parking in downtown ramps.
The $650,000 contract is for technology for using credit cards in the red, green and yellow ramps. It will also provide intercoms where drivers can contact attendants for help.
The city-owned blue ramp, which is behind City Center will not have the new technology installed. The ramp is scheduled to be demolished by 2020 as it reaches the end of its lifespan.
The Soldier’s Square ramp, which is owned by the YMCA, is also not part of the contract.
Tapco has been selected to install the pay stations. City leaders say the company submitted the lowest of three bids.
