Parking bans: A snow emergency is in effect. A parking ban that bans parking on both sides of all arterial streets including emergency snow routes, bus and school routes will end at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 26, 2021. A map of these routes is available at snow.lincoln.ne.gov.

Residential parking is still banned on the odd-numbered sides of the street – that’s generally the south and west sides of the street. Parking is permitted on the even sides of residential streets.

When a residential parking ban is required, parking is banned on only one side of the street. The sides of the street will not switch like in previous years. During residential bans, parking on odd-numbered sides of the street will be banned in odd-numbered years like 2021.  Parking on even-numbered sides of the street will be banned in even-numbered years.

This offer may be extended if conditions warrant.  Customers will be charged the posted rate for any time beyond those hours. Vehicles that remain in the garage past 9 a.m. will be charged for the entire time the vehicle was in the facility.
