Downtown Parking Garage system affected by additional issues

SALISBURY, Md. – The City of Salisbury has announced another setback in the launch of Flowbird in the Downtown Parking Garage.

Officials say the mechanical arms will remain up throughout the month of May to alleviate delays entering and leaving the garage.

“After countless attempts to work through the difficulties concerning both hardware and software since the initial launch in February, we seem to be no closer to an acceptable long-term solution,” Mayor Randy Taylor said. “We are in the process of evaluating the relationship and will be coming to a decision point soon. We extend our deepest apologies to all of those who have been affected by this, thus far, fruitless project.”

Permit holders will still be responsible for paying their parking fees during May.
