City Hall has started parking enforcement again, more than two months after shutting it down, it has been announced.
Beginning Monday, the city took the first step in resuming enforcement of parking permits in The Fan, Carver, Randolph and South Mulberry Street, according to Sharon North, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Works, which oversees enforcement.
She stated that parking at meters in Downtown and elsewhere is still not being enforced.
Bobby Vincent, the department’s director, declined to say when time-limit enforcement would resume.
“The department is still ticketing only in safety zones, crosswalks, towing zones, at handicap spaces and fire hydrants, in areas undergoing paving and in ‘No Parking’ areas for sight lines,” Ms. North stated.
Previously, city officials said that metered parking enforcement would resume on June 1 with the reopening of City Hall.
Ms. North noted that fines and penalties are being waived on tickets issued on or after March 16 as long as the tickets are paid by Aug. 31. The amounts due on tickets issued before March 16 have been frozen and will not be increased if full payment is made by the August deadline.
