The city will have the legal authority to enforce parking rules downtown allowing Ginovus certain parking spaces in the Switch parking garage near City Hall.  Signs are placed on those parking spaces, but Monday’s Board of Works action empowers the city to ticket violators.

Also, the board expanded the parking areas in the downtown Nickel Plate District where overnight parking is banned. Those streets are:

–The parking lot north and adjacent to 12 Municipal Drive

–The parking lot north and adjacent to 11 Municipal Drive

— New parking spots along the northern portion of Municipal Drive behind the library within the  Nickel Plate District will have restrictions to overnight parking, consistent with other parking restrictions in the NIckel Plate District

11 & 12 Municipal Drive are associated with new office buildings recently constructed in the municipal complex.
