Challenge Description: 

The Springfield Parking Authority manages many parking spaces but locals and visitors don’t always know where they are.  And, with significant construction imminent in the city with the I-91 viaduct maintenance and the MGM Casino construction, finding a parking spot is only going to get worse.

The challenge is to create an app where users can see which lots have spaces and not waste time searching.
