Parking Information

On-street parking is available for up to 2 hours at $1 per hour. Bring lots of quarters. On-street parking can be difficult to obtain. You might have luck on some of the side streets, but there are a lot of one ways and it is easy to get lost. Check your meter before you put quarters in, and verify that it is not a 15-minute parking meter! You WILL be ticketed if your meter expires (the ticket is $15-$20), and they now ticket if you "feed" the meter for more than 2 hours. Street parking is FREE after 6PM and on weekends.

The John Street garage usually has plenty of parking. $1 for 30 minutes, $2 for 1 hour, $1 per hour after the first hour. Limit is $8 for 24 hours. Parking is plentiful on weekends. This garage is now computerized and is no longer free at any time.
