I was told, when I first got my sticker, many years ago, that the vehicle parked longer than the 2 hours, must be registered to the address "IT IS PARKED IN FRONT OF". It would be great if the Parking Authority ENFORCED the permit parking west of 40th Street. Each year we pay for our stickers,

A Handicap space is different from Permit Parking and comes with requirements for annual medical certification of the disability. Even in the snow, the fine for parking a vehicle that does not carry handicap tags (or rear view mirror card), in a Handicap space is huge. I'll guess $300 /

Dear Beth, Parking permits do NOT buy you a spot in front of your house. They buy you the convenience of being able to park, with resident preference, any where within the boundaries of the permit. The permits can be handy when you want to park in front of your own home, and also useful when

If you are able to claim a spot, and it is to your benefit, then you should. This is one reason why we have a municipal government. The reason the city gives out the special permits is so that the average citizen doesn't have to 'judge' when a parking space is okay for them to park in. It is
