In an effort to
preserve the unique quality of neighborhood streets a citywide
ordinance was passed in June of 1950 to prohibit parking on City
streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. (unless otherwise posted). It was
imposed to allow street cleaning during these early hours and to
easily identify vehicles that were abandoned.

This program which
provides residents with the means to obtain a temporary overnight
parking exemption (TOPE).
Temporary overnight parking exemptions may be purchased at five (5)
conveniently located kiosks, throughout the City
(TOPEK) or online
(TOPEO). Residents wanting to temporarily park their vehicles
on the street between the hours of 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. MUST
purchase an overnight parking exemption.
TOPEs may
not be purchased after receiving a parking citation.
The
cost of each temporary overnight parking exemption is $3 per night,
per vehicle. You may purchase consecutive nights (up to a maximum of
10 nights) at a time. The kiosks accept coins; $1, $5, and $10
bills; and will take most major credit cards including bank debit
cards that display the Visa or MasterCard logo.
Temporary overnight parking exemptions must be clearly displayed on
your vehicle.
Temporary overnight parking exemptions are valid only in front of or
abutting any property improved exclusively for residential use.
“Residential use”
