Apply for a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit
If you want to reserve parking spaces in the Downtown Parking District for a specific period, you must apply for temporary parking permits. In a residential parking district, you can use guest passes or apply for construction maintenance parking permits.
Temporary parking permits allow individuals and businesses to reserve spaces for special needs while keeping enough spaces open for others. This system is important for maintaining access to parking in busy areas and balancing the needs of all users, including residents, visitors and businesses.
When to Use Temporary Parking Permits
You can apply for temporary parking permits for non-construction activities, such as:
- Special events
- Weddings
- Trainings
- Receptions
- Loading or unloading for more than 30 minutes
- Residential dumpsters
- Storage
