From Rick's Blog:
DIB Press Release: The Parking Management District in conjunction with the Downtown Improvement Board announced several changes and enhancements to the parking program in Downtown. The program consists of increased visibility and the placement of flags for key surface lots and a video that allows guests, workers and stakeholders to comprehend the modifications in under three minutes. The new program includes these elements:
Enforcement will now last until 7pm on Palafox helping make spots available for the dining public and folks coming down to enjoy evening entertainment and events.
Currently enforcement stops at 5:00 pm allowing evening shift employee or downtown visitors to park at3:15 and remain in that parking space all night. With most businesses open until at least 5:00 pm, having spaces on Palafox tied up all afternoon is not conducive to business.
It will also become a violation for someone to move their car one or two spaces over on the same block in an effort to occupy prime parking for an entire day.
Saturday has become a bustling day for shopping and dining in Downtown and having people visiting downtown adhere to the 2-hour limit on Palafox will help the visitor find a parking space. The sides streets, lots and garages allow people to park and stay as long as they want on Saturday’s.
