The Danbury Daily Voice has the scoop on the parking upgrades downtown that will allow drivers to leave their quarters for the parking meter at home.
Danbury has partnered with Parkmobile to add a program that allows customers to use their mobile phones to pay for parking at 400 on-street spaces throughout the city. Customers can pay with their cellphone using Parkmobile’s mobile applications for the iPhone, Android, and Windows smartphones.
“This is an innovative and exciting service that will enable our residents to experience downtown Danbury in a more convenient and accessible way,” said Mayor Mark Boughton. “We are constantly finding ways to push forward into the 21st century as a city. This partnership with Parkmobile is just one of the many ways people can experience Danbury as a city of the future.”
To use the new Parkmobile system, customers register free at www.parkmobile.com .
Once you are registered, you can use a mobile app, Internet, or call toll free to pay for parking. After setting up an account, a customer can immediately begin using the system with a registered mobile device.
Enforcement officers will be able to see that a motorist has paid with Parkmobile using a wireless handheld device.
Mobile app users may also choose to receive alerts and reminders 15 minutes before a parking session expires.
Time limits on meters still apply, and the app will not allow users to purchase more time than allotted by the meters.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
