All vehicles, including those with valid decals or proper Resident/Visitor’s identification notes, must observe the red and white “No Parking” signs. Any vehicle parked in a “No Parking” area, curb plot, crosswalk, or any other improper place is subject to booting and/or towing. Station Square is a No Parking/No Tolerance Zone.

Anyone interfering with the administration of the Parking Control Program or those who disregard the rules of the Parking Control Program are subject to suspension and/or revocation of their parking privileges and of guest parking privileges.
