NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans, Department of Public Works Parking and Towing Divisions resumed standard parking enforcement and towing operations citywide beginning at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 10. The City has been demonstrating leniency while our parking and towing workforce has been dedicated to post-Hurricane Ida recovery work.
Standard parking enforcement protocol includes regulating parking meters, ticket writing, towing and vehicle booting. Parking Enforcement can be requested 24-hours, daily, by calling (504) 658-8100.
All vehicles parked on neutral grounds and sidewalks should be moved prior to 7 a.m. Sunday or be subject to parking enforcement, which prohibits parking on neutral grounds and sidewalks. Neutral grounds are part of the City’s landscaping and also serve as green space and traffic control devices. Sidewalks should remain clear of vehicles to ensure safe access for pedestrians and people traveling with strollers and wheelchairs.
Residents are reminded to reference the Parking 101 guide from the City’s Parking Division to avoid citations and ensure that their vehicle is parked safely.
For any questions regarding these changes or any parking enforcement questions in general, please write the City of New Orleans Department of Public Works’ Parking Division at parking@nola.gov.
