  • Those with official handicap placards or handicap license plates may park in any parking space, regardless of whether the space is designated handicap, without having to pay the meter. This does not extend to unloading/loading zones. 

    Parking

  • Metered parking is crucial both for visitors and the City. The designation of time for each parking space ensures high turnover for patrons in the downtown area. Without metered parking, a space might be taken up for an entire day. With metered parking, a space can accommodate multiple visitors. The fees collected from metered parking ensure that the City can maintain those spaces and infrastructure for visitors.  

    Parking

  • The City offers two types of metered parking: metered parking and pay stations in parking lots.

    • Metered Parking: Pay right at the meter. Most meters cover two parking spaces, so be sure to check which space you’re in before paying.
    • Pay stations in parking lots: If you’re parked in a lot, find the nearest pay station and make your payment there.
