Chicago, however, will not. The 2008 agreement imposes enormous charges on the city for getting rid of parking spaces, even temporarily. If the city merely relocates parking spaces, it must move them to an area that generates similar revenue to the old spaces, and if it cannot do that, it must pay the vendor the difference. These so-called “true-up” payments have become a source of financial agony for Chicago — which, even after renegotiating the deal in 2013, still pays about $20 million in these fees each year. If such payments continue over the remainder of the deal, the city will end up spending far more on true-up fees alone than it received from investors in 2008.
