New parking app for Mt. Lebanon
Anyone driving on Washington Road through Mt. Lebanon knows parking can be tough to find.
A newly unveiled smart phone application, Parker by Streetline, aims to help curb the problem. The app detects parked cars from chips embedded in the ground underneath parking spaces.
The app also shows pricing as well as parking availability, and provides hands-free voice navigation to a spot.
Mt. Lebanon businesses can also embed real-time parker maps on their websites by visiting www.theparkerapp.com/parkermap.
“The app will encourage a thriving economy by allowing people to focus more on what Uptown has to offer and less on where to park,” commercial districts manager Eric Milliron said.
