Overnight Parking

The following overnight parking regulations will be in effect for the entire year, every day of the week, unless during a snow emergency, throughout the entire city - except for the Downtown Business District as described below.

Alternate Side Parking  

Alternate side parking is in effect 2:30 AM - 6:00 AM on most city streets (except in the Downtown Business District).

• On odd-numbered days, vehicles may park, stop, or be left standing on the side of the street having odd-numbered addresses.
• On even-numbered days, vehicles may park, stop, or be left standing only on the side of the street having even-numbered addresses.

All overnight parking requirements shall apply to the corresponding calendar date as of 2:30 AM. Example: If it is 9:00 pm on April 21, and you want to park on the street overnight, you would park on the side with the addresses that are even-numbered because April 22 is the date that the 2:30 AM to 6:00 AM parking regulations will be in effect.

Other Parking Restrictions Enforced Overnight

The alternate side parking regulations do not replace more restrictive parking regulations. For example: Parking in "No Parking" zones, within 4 feet of a driveway, within 15 feet of a crosswalk, or within 10 feet of a fire hydrant are never allowed.
