Parking Meters
City parking meters operate between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. They are free on Sundays and bank holidays.
Many downtown businesses validate parking for their customers. Each validation coupon provides one hour of free parking in any of the City’s garages. Look for the Shop Here, Park Free or Eat Here, Park Free signs in the windows of participating merchants:
