Parking Limit In Mountain Brook Village Shortened To 3 Hours

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL — For years, patrons of Mountain Brook Village businesses could park in the village for four hours before getting ticketed, but that has changed due to a new city ordinance.

The ordinance, approved by the Mountain Brook City Council last week, states that short term on-street parking spaces located within Mountain Brook Village "are hereby restricted to three (3) hour parking, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m."

The ordinance can be read in full here.

Parking in Mountain Brook Village has been an issue as the village itself has grown and businesses have changed hands. A series of changes over the last few years — including road additions, a roundabout and rerouting of Canterbury Road — have changed the nature of traffic and parking in the village.
