"Hey! You can't park there!"
Want to avoid being the next "Hey! You can't park there!" meme victim? We've got some notes!
There is NO Overnight Street Parking...
from December 15th through March 1st.
"Overnight" means 2:00am to 7:00am.
Every year, City Ordinance 10.09.50 goes into effect, stating that Overnight street parking is prohibited from December 15th through March 1st. The ordinance is to allow for efficient snow removal and winter street maintenance. Restrictions stand regardless of the weather to avoid conflict and confusion.
This applies to all vehicles and personal property, including recreational vehicles, trailrs, and others.
This also applies to all public city streets and alleys.
***private streets and alleys fully maintained by the owner are exempt.
What if...
You park on a city street overnight?
Your vehicle will be ticketed and possibly towed at your own expense. The fine is $50 for the ticket and an additional $150 for a hook and drop fee if the vehicle is towed.
You've already received an overnight parking ticket?
An existing or previous ticket does not excuse violations and additional tickets and fines can incur.
You have a valid parking permit?
Parking permits are valid for daytime use only.
You're on a waiting list for an apartment complex parking space?
A waitlist is deceiving. The waiting list does not guarantee a parking space. Often, waiting lists are 10, 20, or 50 people long. Parking is the vehicle owner's responsibility. Unfortunately, apartment complexes do not always have enough parking for tenant vehicles. The City works with the University and property managers every year to ensure students and residents are advised not to bring a vehicle if they are not guaranteed a parking space, however, we're dependent on our partners to spread the word and on students/residents understanding parking challenges in advance.
