Meter bags are available to be rented by companies while actually engaged in a business activity in the downtown area. Allowed activities include those that involve repair work, maintenance, construction, utility work, or moving. Vehicles parked at a meter bag must be necessary for that specific project or activity and have commercial plates or signage indicating that the vehicle is used for commercial purposes. Vehicles used only for commuting to the job site do not qualify. Meter bags are not to be used by downtown business or property owners or their employees for general parking. Contact Public Parking for more information on allowable uses and the current rates.
