FORT COLLINS, Colo. — When Denver7 last checked in with Fort Collins Parking Services , they were set to begin gathering public input about the plan to bring paid parking back to Old Town.

The last parking meter in Old Town was removed in the 1960's. Since then parking garages were added around Old Town for a small fee but Parking Services said it created what's known as an "upside down model."

"Our on street parking is free, where our further, way less convenient parking in the parking structure cost money. So people want the desirable, close, convenient parking, which leads to people circling the block, trolling, looking for that available space, versus going to a readily accessible parking garage," said Eric Keselburg, the senior manager for Fort Collins' Parking Services.
