To make parking easy and convenient through the downtown, the City is making changes to parking rates to free up spaces in the busiest, most desirable areas of downtown, and provide less expensive parking for people who are on a tight budget.

Effective January 1, 2018, the City will establish two pricing zones for metered parking to improve access to parking spaces:

• PREMIUM PARKING – For those who want the convenience of a space in the highest demand areas of downtown, the Premium spaces have a 3-hour time limit and are $1.50/hour.
• VALUE PARKING – Offers lower hourly rates and longer time limits in the periphery of the core downtown.
