City of Columbia parking enforcement resumes Tuesday, June 16

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

On Monday, June 15, the City of Columbia City Council approved the reinstatement of charging for parking and the enforcement of parking meter payments beginning Tuesday, June 16. 

Council also approved a pilot program wherein metered spots around the downtown community will be designated solely as curbside pick-up or carryout spots to assist businesses and their customers.

Parking enforcement was originally suspended on March 19, at the beginning of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in Columbia. This was done to assist in not overwhelming the Municipal Court system once operations went back to normal and to help the downtown business community in their efforts to provide carry-out services and curbside pick-up.
