Confusing Signs Coming Down

City of Spokane employees this week began removing some problematic signs, which were located on parking meters in downtown’s “Entertainment Parking District.” They will be replaced with this, hopefully clearer, sign on each block in the district.

The Entertainment Parking District is a new parking area that provides entertainment venues with specialized parking rules designed to provide more flexibility to large groups and tour buses. It’s a three-block area bounded by Madison Street, Post Street, Sprague Avenue, and First Avenue.

The signs are intended to inform motorists that a vehicle with a disabled parking placard can park for up to four hours at a metered location. Motorists with disabled placards can park free in all other metered parking spaces without limitation.
