CEDAR RAPIDS - If you've been in downtown Cedar Rapids this week, you might have noticed a few less parking spots.

The city says there's dozens of parking meters with a "Reserved Parking" hood on them.

The parking department says they are auditing several of the meters. That means they cover one of the pair, and make sure each works properly by itself.

However, that leaves one parking spot empty.

After TV9 asked, Doug Forbes with the Parking Department said they might considering changing the hoods, so drivers can still use the open space.
