Heads up, Downtown Johnstown!
RIP to one of downtown's oldest scavenger hunts... finding enough quarters for the parking meter.
The City of Johnstown is giving downtown parking a bit of a tech upgrade! The new pay kiosks are now live, and the old parking meters will soon be making their final exit.
From what we understand, parking costs remain the same (if we're wrong, please let us know!).
The best part? These kiosks aren't nearly as picky as the old meters. They accept:
• Any coins (not just quarters!)
• Credit & debit cards
• Tap-to-pay
• Mobile app payments
If you've ever dug through your cup holder, checked every jacket pocket, or "borrowed" a quarter from the center console just to park downtown... those days may finally be behind us.
We've attached the informational flyer the City Manager dropped off at our store, along with photos of the new kiosks so you can familiarize yourself before your next trip downtown.
Happy parking, and while you're downtown, don't forget to stop in and support all of our fantastic local businesses!
