(Update: Adding city staff member, spa manager comments)
The city plans to get a new gate operating sometime next week
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A plan to install a parking gate at the Centennial Parking Plaza has been in the works for a while, but it became a priority this year after an increase in trespassing complaints.
"That is something that residents, business owners have really complained a lot about," Marx said Thursday. "That's our top priority."
The garage's free three-hour parking format will be replaced with a downtown merchant validation system and will have a number of technological advancements.
