Cedar Rapids taking donations to clear parking meter fines

November 25, 2015 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Parking-Meter-expiredCedar Rapids is forgiving downtown parking violation fines during the next month, exchanging those parking tickets for gifts to agencies serving homeless and needy families.

Doug Neumann, the city’s downtown parking board director, says gift cards or items like coats and gloves will forgive the fines.

Neumann says, “Any charges that you have, either overdue charges that you want to get cleared or things that you might accumulate here in the next couple of holiday weeks, it is all eligible for this program.”

Cedar Rapids is exchanging the parking fines for like-value gifts through December 23rd.
