Street Parking

Look for any parking related signage and follow their directions. For example: meters, no parking sign or loading zone sign. We don't want you to get a ticket. Follow these rules to help keep people safe from harm, park:

• 3 feet from a driveway
• 15 feet from fire hydrants
• 15 feet from or within intersections
• 20 feet from marked crosswalks
• 20 feet from railroad tracks
• 30 feet from a flashing signal, stop sign, or traffic signal

We monitor meters from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

There are posted signs on meters that are monitored after 7pm or on Saturdays. Most of these parking spaces are located along Monroe Center.
