Please ensure that you are parking on the side of the lot designated for the day when your car will be parked between 2 a.m. - 6 a.m., there are signs denoting what side of the lot to park in.
The following municipal lots are the only lots where overnight parking is permitted between Dec. 1 - March 31:

Please note that your application must be approved before parking on the street.
