Tired of digging in your pockets for change? The City of Regina is here to help.

This Sunday, the city will be adding 19 new metered stalls that will accept credit cards.

The new meters will be installed on Broad Street between Victoria Avenue and 13th Avenue on both sides of the road.

The new spots won't be available during bus lane hours (7 — 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 — 5:30 p.m. CST). During those times, it will be clearly marked that no-stopping zones will be in effect. Meters will refuse payment.

The city added the new meters to keep downtown businesses and shoppers happy.

Traffic won't be blocked off, but drivers are reminded to slow down around work zones.
