From the NRV Traffic & Safety Committee:

ALL of NRV will be in the new Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) being set up by the City to prevent our neighborhood from being a de facto parking lot for the light rail’s Edmunds Street Station. Right by the Neighborhood House, the parking limit will be for 4 hours. In all other parts of NRV, parking will be limited to 2 hours unless the vehicle has a permit. This is in response to all the input from our community! Good work, and thanks everyone. The City listened.

Also, thanks to work by our neighbors closer to Othello Station, RPZ permits will be free for the first two years, and each household will get two. You will be able to purchase guest passes.

The zone will be in force during the day on weekdays. There will be monitoring to see if it will also be needed on weekends when there are games down at the stadiums.

Signs about the RPZ will go up in May, but enforcement won’t start until the light rail is running, which now is projected to be around July 9.

We should be seeing mail from SDOT about the RPZ and how to get permits in the next few weeks.

Stay tuned: More details to come from SDOT and NRV’s Traffic & Safety Committee.
