• OVERNIGHT RESIDENTIAL PARKING (City Wide)
  
  
• DAYTIME RESIDENTIAL PARKING (Flood Park and College Park Areas)
  
  
• DOWNTOWN PLAZA PARKING
  

In parking plazas #1 and #5, new "pay for parking" machines have been installed. This is a "pay by space" format, so you can interact with any of the machines in that plaza to pay for your space. Your first two hours are still free, but if you plan to stay longer, you can now purchase extra time utilizing these machines. Simply follow the below link for instructions.
