METERED PARKING ENFORCEMENT RESUMES

The City reminds residents that FREE holiday parking at metered spaces in the Downtown and Riverfront Districts ends this Friday, January 1. Metered parking enforcement resumes Monday, January 4. In addition to metered parking enforcement, the City is also ticketing for parking in intersections, in tow-away zones, and double-parking, as well as blocking fire hydrants, driveways, bus stops, loading zones and pedestrian crosswalks. Limited time parking in City neighborhoods is still not being enforced because many residents are still working from home.
