The charging stations located in the parking area between the RPPD, the Mexican restaurant and Olson’s car repair will no longer be in service. The agreement between the RPPD and the city has run out. The city is removing the meters and disconnecting electricity since no one is paying for it. The stations are owned by RPPD so the city cannot add a payment method to them. PCN photo by Beth Sparrow.
