WHERE ARE SMART METERS?
4 ,500 Smart Meters will be installed throughout Denver by May, 2010. The Smart Meters will replace Denver’s older, traditional parking meters. Not all meters in Denver will transition to Smart Meters; around 15% of the original meters will remain in areas where the character has changed and metered parking is being re-evaluated.  Kiosks will not be included in the current transition to Smart Meters.
