LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Los Angeles city officials announced the release of an iPhone application offering motorists real time information on available parking spots in Hollywood.
The officials said the "Parker" application, which was created in partnership with San Francisco firm Streetline, allows motorists to view the nearest available parking spots as well as locations of public and private lots and information on time limits and pricing, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
"Instead of driving around Hollywood getting frustrated, motorists can now use this application to get a space," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. "It's a real innovation."
The app can be purchased for $1.99 at the iTunes app store. Officials said they plan to expand the system to cover downtown Los Angeles if it proves successful in the coming months.
