Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep customer parking customer-friendly?

Time limits are generous for shoppers. Enforcement focuses on commuters and long-stay vehicles, not first-time visitors.

Can tenant employees be zoned away from storefront stalls?

Yes. Employees get a permit tied to a zone; storefront stalls stay open for customers.

Can we add paid parking later?

Yes. Many retail owners start with enforcement only and add paid edges or evening rates as utilization grows.
