Why Guidance Matters
Yankee Homecoming week brings elevated downtown demand. The Parking Division asks drivers to plan ahead so emergency access and resident driveways remain clear.
Where to Park
- Use public lots when spaces are available
- Observe posted time limits on metered and signed streets
- Do not block hydrants, crosswalks, or accessible spaces
Illegally parked vehicles that obstruct emergency access may be towed at the owner's expense.
Enforcement
Standard enforcement continues except where temporary event signs indicate otherwise. Officers and parking staff will focus on safety corridors near Cashman Park, Bartlet Mall, and the parade route.
Alternatives
Consider walking, rideshare drop-offs outside the densest blocks, or arriving earlier in the day for longer events.
