Residential Parking

The Residential Permit Parking Program (RPPP) helps reduce parking congestion in eligible neighborhoods by limiting on-street parking to residents with permits. The program includes two separate processes: obtaining a parking permit for an existing program area and requesting a new Residential Permit Parking area.
