- PLUS FREE parking in 5 surface lots starting at 5:00 PM and weekends

DISCOUNTS on Annual parking permits – 10% discount applies to all annual parking permits.
- PLUS “Z” permit parking has been created in the Cloverleaf and River’s Edge North Lots, for $50.00 per quarter (plus tax)
- PLUS “Business Reserved” parking spaces can be rented by businesses for reserved employee parking.
- To increase turnover for downtown businesses, on-street meters and certain surface parking lots will require payment at all hours and all days, with the exception of no parking 2:00 AM - 6:00 AM to allow for maintenance activities.
PLUS Parking space time limits have been increased. On-street parking meter spaces may be parked in for three (3) hours and surface lot locations for five (5) hours.
