Published: April, 2006 From: Jaime Guerrero Here’s some interesting tidbit about Parking Meters under the jurisdiction of the Port (you talked about this in the Mar ’06 Bay Crossings issue). https://www.calstart.org/programs/cm/nn_detail.php?id=7984 Mr. Guerrero was kind to send some interesting excerpts from this article, which in-part, describe a venture between the Port of San Francisco and San Francisco startup Streetline Networks Inc. Essentially, it says that efforts are being made to monitor street parking around the waterfront by the Port. The technology being used is a battery-operated sensor. The sensor transmits data that the Port could use to determine future parking hours or rates. We will keep an eye on the situation, while wondering, what happens when the sensor’s batteries run low?
