Details - RPZIf you live in the restricted parking zone (RPZ) eligibility areas defined on the map, we’ll send you a permit application for either Zone 4 or Zone 21, depending on your address.
• On RPZ blocks that will also have 2-hr pay stations, RPZ permit holders will be exempt from both the time limit and paid parking.
• Please note: You will only be exempt if you appropriately display your Zone 4 permit on a Zone 4 signed block; or Zone 21 permit on a Zone 21 signed block.

Details – paid parking ratesIn a dense, lively neighborhood like Pike/Pine, paid parking Helps increase space availability and ease enforcement. A mix of short-term and long-term spaces will serve the needs of various users.

• 10-hr paid parking = $1.25/hr
