Welcome to the Downtown

The parking system serves visitors, shoppers, merchants, and employees who live, work and play in beautiful downtown. The more efficiently the system runs the more the parking infrastructure can be improved.
The downtown, the heart of the City, has shopping, cultural and natural experiences within a short walk.

Disabled Parking Permits

The parking system includes a good supply of designated spaces for persons with disabilities. Vehicles displaying a disabled permit can park for free in these designated spaces. Time limits still apply. A disabled parking permit is obtained at the Motor Vehicle License Agency, 1180 20th Street East (371-2719).
