Streetline Inc. and ParkIndy, a public-private partnership between Indianapolis and Xerox, are now making it easier to find parking in the city. Using the company’s sensor-enabled smart-parking system — Parker, a free smartphone app — motorists can see open parking spaces in real-time, reducing the time and energy spent searching for parking. Sensors embedded in the pavement detect available spaces. The app provides location and general availability of spaces through the use of web-enabled devices, such as a smartphone or tablet. Once parked, motorists can use its built-in timer or access directions to help find the space when they need to return to their vehicle. Central Parking System has completed the sale of 14
owned properties in PropCo, its wholly owned property subsidiary. In the second of two coordinated transactions, Central completed the sale in March of five parking garages and nine surface lots in 10 U.S. cities to affiliates of CoveredBridge Ventures. As part of the transaction, Central will continue to long-term lease the parking properties. The proceeds of the first of the coordinated transactions, completed in December 2011, were utilized to retire all of PropCo’s outstanding debt. The proceeds of this second transaction will be used to pay taxes associated with the property sales and for general corporate purposes. Control Systems Inc. (CSI), the premier Federal APD
