Gainesville commissioners vote 5-2 to explore automated parking enforcement
Gainesville City Commissioners approved a review of automated parking enforcement technology Thursday, with the measure passing 5-2. The devices use radar and license plate cameras and are projected to generate roughly $160,000 annually for the city. Commissioners Casey Willits and Cynthia Chestnut voted against the review, while Bryan Eastman supported it after noting that no Florida city currently uses this particular enforcement mechanism. Any formal adoption would require a change to city ordinance.
