1. For your convenience, a parking meter machine is available in the Franklin Street parking lot. This machine offers hourly parking for 50cents. Motorists who need just one day of parking or half-day parking will be able to buy the amount of time they need, eliminating the need to purchase a parking sticker.
2. Parking regulations will be enforced in the off-street parking lots and the on-street core district by parking enforcement officers and police officers.
3. The following is a list of free parking hours in each of the off-street lots:
NORTH ELM, READER 1 and 2 - 2 HRS.
FRANKLIN ST., THOMAS ST., ARNOLD ST. & READER 3 LOTS - 3 HRS.
4. Please note that the hours of free parking in the off-street lots means per use, therefore, "jockeying" of your vehicle, from one space to another within the same lot, on any given day, is a parking violation, and will cause you to be ticketed. Please remember, you can purchase a monthly parking sticker from the Parking Clerk's office, 59 Court Street, Room 211, phone (413)572-6202, which will allow you valid parking, all day, in sticker lots.
