City of Portland Alerts

Re: City of Portland Alert: Citywide Parking Ban: 10:00 PM Wednesday, April 3 Through 6:00 AM Thursday, April 4, 2024

4/3/2024 - 2:31 PM
We understand this storm is expected to still be underway through tomorrow morning. We won't know until tomorrow if we will need another parking ban Thursday night. Cars can remain parked in the designated parking ban areas of the Eastern Prom, Western Prom, Marginal Way and State St. and in the City off street lots until 8:00AM Friday WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS:
  • School Parking Lots: You can choose to stay in school parking lots ONLY IF school is cancelled on Thursday. You will need to check Portland Public Schools' social media to confirm. If you choose to stay in a school parking lot through Friday morning, remember that you need to be out by 6:30 AM, and please note that staying will limit our ability to clear the parking lots and most likely you will get plowed in and it will be very difficult to leave on Friday morning. 
  • Fitzpatrick Stadium Parking lot: We have events at the Expo tonight and tomorrow night. Cars will need to leave by the normal time of 7:00 AM on Thursday morning, so plow crews can clear it through the day and provide parking for the Celtics Playoff game Thursday night. If there is a snow ban on Thursday night, this lot will only be available after 10:00 PM when the game is done. 
  • City owned garages (Elm St & Spring St):  You must exit the parking garages by 8:00 AM on Thursday as we will need room for our monthly parkers. If you choose to stay in the garages beyond 8:00 AM tomorrow, you will have to pay the hourly rate ($3/hr) for all hours beyond 8:00 AM. Of course, if a parking ban is also called for Thursday night, the $3 parking ban rate (from 5pm-8am) will go back into effect.
