View Larger Map
A reader of this post on parking problems in Southtown's Riverwalk area asks:
Why have they suddenly made street parking illegal in front of Octagon Park (across from the fire house)? It used to be metered parking. In fact, the meter machine is still there, but new "No Parking" signs have been erected there.
I asked RIOC VP Of Operations Fernando Martinez about what happened to the parking across from the Fire House and he promised to look into the matter and obtain an answer to the question.
UPDATE 4 PM - Mr. Martinez has the answer and solution:
The signs were changed to "No Parking" when we repaved the roadway from Manhattan Park to the Octagon Field. Unfortunately, the signs were not changed back to allow for parking in that area. The RIOC Engineering Department has been notified and will install the proper signs. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.UPDATE 5:30 PM -According to RIOC:
Our Maintenance Dept. installed the signs yesterday morning, between 40 River Rd., Manhattan Park Building to the Octagon Field Comfort Station. Three (3) signs were installed on the light poles, the signs read 6 hour parking, $1.00 per hour.

As a new resident (who only occasionally has a car), I didn't realize understand the parking issues voiced here and in other places. Come on, there's Motorgate! Then I used Motorgate. It all makes sense now.
