Rates for the city’s 800 on-street meters have increased from $1.25 an hour to $1.50 an hour.
At the 2nd Street and Market Street public parking decks, the daily maximum increased from $7 to $10. But it’s not all bad; instead of getting the first hour free at these decks, now, parking is free for an hour and a half.
The daily maximum rate at the Hannah Block and 2nd Street surface lots increased from $7 to $8, with hourly rates decreasing from $1.25 an hour to $1 an hour, for up to five hours.
Parking at on-street meters is always free on Sundays and daily after 6:30 p.m.
