Overnight parking restrictions in downtown Aspen being enforced
Aspen, CO – The city of Aspen reminds residents, visitors, and downtown employees that no parking is allowed in the commercial core between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m.
After two months of issuing warnings, Aspen Police officers are now actively enforcing the law with $75 tickets to violators.
Vehicles parked overnight during a snow event will be subject to being towed, with fees up to $260.
To help keep city streets safe and clear this winter, the parking, streets, and police departments are working together to enforce this restriction.
“Overnight parking restrictions are about safety first,” said Daniel Maldonado, the city’s streets superintendent. “Keeping streets clear between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. allows our crews to remove snow efficiently, maintain proper drainage, and reduce hazards for drivers, pedestrians, and the city staff working in winter conditions. Compliance helps us keep Aspen’s streets safe and accessible for everyone.”
