For those who park there even longer, there will be a daily maximum charge of $16.
City officials said the paid parking pilot program will run through Dec. 31, 2026 so that the city can gather real time data on parking demand and usage patterns.
“This information will inform longer-term decisions that work for both residents and businesses,” the city said in a statement.
While paid parking is coming to the downtown area at the $2 per hour rate, the city said the new downtown parking deck will remain free of charge.
