Odd/Even Parking Update

Neighbors Take Note!

Odd/Even Parking Regulations Go into Effect November 1, 2011.

The City of Ithaca would like to remind its residents and visitors that
between November 1, 2011 and April 1, 2012, the City’s Odd/ Even
Parking Regulation will be in effect. The regulation reads:
“Effective November 1- April 1 of each year no person shall park a
vehicle between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the odd-numbered side of all
City streets on the odd-numbered days of the calendar month, and on the
even-numbered side of all City streets on the even-numbered days of the
calendar month. “

To explain this regulation in simple terms: when you park your car for
the evening (before midnight) on even numbered days, park on the side of
the street where the house numbers are even, and on the odd side of the
street on odd numbered days of the week. This tip does not work if you
park after midnight because the date has changed, so follow the city
code language. In addition, beware of instances when the 31st of the
month changes to the 1st of the month as both are odd-numbered days.

If your street is not marked with 24 hour parking signs, and there is
only parking on one side of the street, you must move your car to
another street on the off evenings.

The City also has a year-round 24 hour parking restriction that is
effective Monday – Friday. This means that no matter what street you
live on, you must move your vehicle every 24 hours during the week.
Vehicles that have not moved in 72 hours could be considered abandoned
and become subject to towing at the owner’s expense.

Your compliance with this regulation ensures that the city streets are
kept free from accumulated snow and debris, and that parking spaces
remain available to residents, commuters, and visitors.

City Chamberlain’s Office (607) 274-6580.
