Residents who have a monthly garage permit for Garage B, D, G, Midtown, and Garden Street as of December 31, 2018, and maintain said permit continuously and remain up-to-date on their payments will be grandfathered into the rate that they were paying prior to the enactment of Ordinance No. B-66 on November 9, 2018, for a period of three years. If the resident allows said permit to lapse or misses a monthly payment, they will be subject to the increased pricing schedule.

For example, if the resident does not utilize the two 24/7 days in January, they would be entitled to four 24/7 days in February. Residents will not be entitled to any reimbursement for accrual of 24/7 days upon termination of their resident monthly limited parking pass.
