The current two zones for street meters have been eliminated. Meters in the Avenue Ramp and West Ramp will remain at 35 for one hour of parking with a 3-hour limit. The meters will not go into negative time. This should eliminate any confusion concerning the amount of time remaining on the meter. The current meter token program will continue unchanged.
Merchants can still purchase tokens to give to their customers.
They are available at the Department of Public works located on the 5 th floor of City Center, for 50 each and are sold in quantities of 50. The biggest changes are in the daily and monthly parking rates, how you pay for daily use, and ramp operating hours. The cost of monthly parking permits for all ramps and lots have been drastically reduced. These permits can be purchased at the Public Works Department located of the 5th floor of City Center. Permits for these ramps will be in the form of electronic access cards that allow monthly permit holders access to the ramp.
