Enforcement Objectives
Streets in the commercial areas of the City serve many competing interests. They are primarily designed
for moving traffic; however, the general public, delivery trucks, taxis and buses all vie for space making
the urban street one of the most sought-after resources a City controls. Parking enforcement plays a vital
role to ensure that the street is used in the best interest of the community. The primary objectives of
enforcement are:
-
Promote traffic and pedestrian safety.
-
Maximize the capacity of the existing parking supply through increased turnover.
-
Encourage compliance of the City's parking regulations.
-
Support the on street parking system by equitably and consistently enforcing the parking regulations.
