- Hours: Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a 4-hour limit and $2.50/hour rate.
- Over a third of vehicles currently violate the 2-hour limit; average parking exceeds 5 hours in unregulated areas. - Revenue will fund local business improvements; some stakeholders criticize lack of consultation.
