HOW are the new parking restrictions working?

Denver Public Works plans to begin monitoring the effectiveness of the parking management plan and the newly installed restrictions in January of 2007 when new transit patterns along the Southeast Corridor become more consistent. Until then, residents and transit users near the Dayton Station are encouraged to submit input on how the restrictions are working, not working, or how they could be better applied! Please call Denver’s 3-1-1 Information Line, or email your comments to pworks@ci.denver.co.us to give us your thoughts!

WHO is affected?

Denver Residents in the vicinity of the Dayton station area, and those who expressed concern about potential neighborhood impacts associated with the demand for transit-related parking.

WHAT are the proposed parking restrictions?

The restrictions allow a combination of "2-hour parking" and "no parking" restrictions. The 2-hour parking restrictions occur from 8:00am through 6:00pm, Monday through Friday. Exceptions include: Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The 2-hour parking restriction has been applied to Mansfield, Nassau, and the north side of Oxford Drive; while the No Parking restrictions would apply to the south side of Oxford Drive and along Boston Ave.

WHAT about resident-exempt permits?

Denver Public Works will NOT be issuing parking exemption permits in this neighborhood. This is primarily due to the fact that the neighborhood was developed and designed with adequate PRIVATE parking for both residents and guests living within the Cherry Creek 1, 2, 3, and Townhomes community.

WHEN did the restrictions begin?

Parking restrictions were installed before the opening of the Southeast Corridor line. Enforcement began on Friday, November 17th, 2006, consistent with the opening of the Southeast Corridor light rail line.

WHY is the City and County of Denver implementing parking restrictions?

Denver residents and their local neighborhood organizations in the Dayton station area expressed concern about potential neighborhood parking impacts associated with the opening of the Southeast Corridor (T-REX) light rail line. The City took several steps to address these concerns, including: (1) evaluating the area of greatest potential impact, (2) estimating the projected demand for transit-related on-street parking, (3) meeting with residents and neighborhood organizations in the area, and (4) creating a parking management plan that attempts to balance the neighborhood needs for on-street parking while supporting the transit system. The final parking restrictions map (click on link above) is the result of a collaborative effort between resident representatives and the City of Denver, Public Works Department.
