Metered Parking
More than 1,500 metered parking spaces can be found along Downtown streets. These spaces are free every weekday evening after 6:00 p.m. and on weekends and holidays. During weekdays until 6:00 p.m. metered parking costs 25 cents for 30 minutes.
Tips on Metered Parking
- Park your car with the front bumper even with or slightly behind the meter post. Each space is designed for one vehicle.
- Put the correct coins (quarters only) in the meter for the time you will be using it.
- Turn the meter handle all the way after each coin is inserted.
- Remember the meter location where you park to help you locate your vehicle.
- Report any meter malfunction by calling the CARE system at 630-CITY.
