Parking 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.
