How can I social/physical distance myself when using a parking garage?

The City encourages all who utilizing the parking facilities to continue physical distancing practices when using the garages or parking lots. Having members of the public park in the garage structures, it forces vehicles to park door to door, which can lead to people being in closer proximity of one another. To minimize the number of garage user interactions, strategic parking stalls have been marked off to limit the capacity of vehicles in the garages. The City recommends that residents avoid parking directly next to other vehicles where possible and avoid getting in and/or out of vehicles until a distance of 2 meters (6.5 feet) from other users can be achieved. Please wear masks, especially when physical distancing practices cannot be met.

Enforcement Officers will not ticket street-parked vehicles unless it is a safety issue or a vehicle is interfering with normal traffic flow.
