1. Where can I park my car?

Parking in the Village is very limited. On-street parking is only allowed on one side of most streets. No Parking is allowed on any street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. for reasons of safety, snow removal, and street sweeping.

If your car cannot be driven or you have special needs (such as a party, or your driveway is being resurfaced) please advise the Riverside Police Department and we will try to accommodate you. Other parking restrictions vary by area.

2. Where is commuter parking available?

Commuter parking is available in 2 places:

Lot 1 is south of the tracks, west of the train station. Some metered spaces are paid by the hour/day and some are sold as quarterly permits. The spaces with blue number signs are for metered parking, and the spaces with brown number signs are for quarterly permit holders only. The cost is $160 per quarter for commuters or $200 per quarter for 24-hour parking.

Lot 8 is located south of the tracks, east of the crossing. These spaces are only for permitted daily commuters at a cost of $160 per quarter.

There is generally a short waiting list (1 – 3 months) for spaces in Lot 1 and a longer waiting list (approximately 5 - 6 years) for spaces in Lot 8. Please contact the Finance Department to be placed on the waiting list. You will be called as soon as something becomes available.
