Residential parking rules in Erie will change April 1. Here's what that means for you.
City of Erie residents and visitors, get ready for the annual spring change in residential parking regulations.
Here’s a breakdown of the yearly change in parking rules, which take effect in the city on April 1.
What are the residential parking rules in the city as of April 1?
Starting April 1 and continuing through Oct. 31, one day each week is designated “no parking” on many city streets between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Why is this necessary?
The rules are in place to accommodate street operations such as cleaning and pothole repairs.
What residential parking rules were in place before April 1?
The city annually implements what’s known as winter odd-even parking regulations, which began Nov. 1 and regulate parking on weekdays during the winter. Those regulations end March 31.
Those winter parking rules make it easier for streets crews to plow snow.
