These restricted areas include Universty 1 and University 2 neighborhoods, including the Cannon Green Condominium complex, from Cannon Green Drive to the west, Hollister Avenue to the north, Stroke Road to the east and Whittier Drive to the south.
Each household should have received two passes in their mailbox by Thursday, and vehicle drivers are required to tape their parking permits to the inside of their driver’s side window during the restricted hours.
The hours of enforcement will be from 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30 to 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31 to 7 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1.
Signage and electronic message boards will be posted reminding drivers in advance.
