• Any fines issued are your responsibility to pay prior to your check-out date. Deposits will be returned once we confirm no fines were issued during your stay.

• At spaces marked by BUMPERS: Vehicles must be parked straight & centered at a either a YELLOW or BLUE (handicapped) parking bumper (sometimes referred to as a "curb," "stub," or "stop block").

  • Parking is not permitted in unmarked or right-of-way (streetside) areas.

  • All unmarked areas in the Paid Parking Zone are assumed to be a “no parking” area; the absence of “No Parking” signage does not indicate parking is allowed.
