MORE FLEXPARKING PAY STATIONS TO BE ACTIVATED DOWNTOWN

As the City continues to roll out the FlexParking program in stages, an additional 25 pay stations will be activated on Wednesday, March 4, on the following streets:

• 1st Avenue between 20th and 23rd Street
• 20th, 22nd and 23rd Street between 1st and 4th Avenue

When the new, flexible pay stations are turned on, the old coin meters will be covered with a white and yellow hood that directs drivers to use the pay stations. Until drivers encounter this hooding at the space they wish to park, they should continue to plug the old coin meters.

The first FlexParking pay stations were activated along 2nd Avenue and 21st Street on February 19. More stations will continue to be activated in stages, in the weeks to come.

Important tips and reminders:

1. Have your licence plate number handy; you’ll need it at every transaction.
2. Don’t forget to note the maximum allowable time where you’re parking; you can only park as long as the sign indicates, regardless of how much time you buy.
3. You don’t need to display a dashboard ticket; your plate provides proof of payment.
4. Balances on your parking purchase can be carried forward to any space that’s been switched over to the new system; balances cannot be applied to coin metered spaces.
5. Additional parking time may be purchased after your last purchase expires, provided you have not exceeded the maximum allowable time posted at your parking space.

The City’s Disability and Veteran parking permit programs remain unchanged and drivers are still required to display their placards.
