Free Two-hour Parking for Christmas Shoppers!

City Council recently approved a recommendation by the Downtown BRZ and the Downtown Redevelopment Steering Committee (DRSC) to provide two-hour regulated parking in the downtown for the Christmas shopping season. During this period of time, shoppers will not have to plug meters and will have up to two-hours to dine, meet for coffee or stroll through the downtown searching for that perfect gift.

The two-hour regulated parking will be in effect from December 7-25, 2009. The parking meters included in the program will be covered for the entire duration, with bags displaying a two-hour parking sign. If a parking meter is not covered, it is in operation. This includes all 38 minute and 10-hour parking meters, as well as, a small number of parking meters adjacent to businesses who have requested that their meters remain in operation.
