Arlington begins installing ground sensors as part of 'Performance Parking Pilot' project

ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — No one likes looking for parking -- So after getting a $5.4 million grant from the Virginia Department of Transportation, Arlington County is trying out new technology to tackle its parking problem.

Starting Monday, they’ll begin installing in-ground sensors for its Performing Parking Pilot project. The sensors can detect whether there is or isn’t a car in the parking spot.

Officials say crews will be starting on 14th St N somewhere between N Barton St and N Taft St.
