CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — City officials, hoping to lure shoppers away from suburban malls, today will start offering valet parking service downtown.
Mayor Donald Canney said the 90-day experiment should lure more consumers to downtown by freeing shoppers from the hassles of finding parking spots at meters or in city garages.
City employees in red vests and bow ties will set up a booth outside the largest downtown department store and will park shoppers’ cars in city ramps for $2 above the normal parking fee.
