Lincoln vs. Washington

Although violations for red curb parking, overnight parking and blocking fire hydrants will continue to be enforced on both holidays, here’s a noted exception:

• Lincoln’s birthday:

  Holiday at City Hall – No free parking.

  Parking meters will be in operation, time limits and all parking violations will be enforced on Lincoln’s Birthday, Feb.12.

• Washington’s birthday:

  Holiday at City Hall – Free parking!

  Parking meters will be free, and parking time limits will not be enforced on Feb. 15. Parking meter enforcement will resume Feb. 16.

No explanation on the parking enforcement’s discrepancy for both holidays!
