Website Helps Drivers Find Legal Street Parking
30th Sep 2007
(Review)
Primospot.com Mike Hill from Manhattan used to drive slowly through streets at night, reading parking signs and looking for a valid, empty spot to park near his apartment.
Hill got tired of circling his East Village neighborhood nearly every night for one year looking for valid parking spaces for his motorcycle and his wife's car.
In June, he decided to create a computer program to help him find the best places to look for parking. After three months, primospot.com and m.primospot.com were born. Both websites are free and allow people to find the best spots within an area for street parking.
"I started using the program the first week after I created it," Hill said. "I had it up and running enough to add data, but I only put in data for my neighborhood."
"For a long time I was trying to think of an idea for a site, something that had not already been done," he said. "When I started with the parking thing, it hit me that this is a need that has not already been filled and I decided to do it and follow through with it."
