If you've ever found yourself struggling to find change to feed the parking meters on the square in downtown Tyler, you can now cross that one off your frustration list.

I never could understand why someone feels it's OK to take TWO spots. It's one of the biggest pet peeves I have and it's done everywhere, all the time.
Parking in Downtown Tyler is a challenge. Meters around the square, a garage that's confusing, and lots that are privately owned. Where's a person to park?
