🚗 Downtown Parking Update
One of the most common concerns we hear is about parking around the square. As a reminder, business owners and employees are asked to park in the free city lots adjacent to the square to keep storefront spaces open for visitors and shoppers.
Due to a Supreme Court decision, we are no longer permitted to “mark” tires, making enforcement of 2-hour parking difficult. We appreciate your help in keeping the square accessible and welcoming.
