Downtown Parking Reminder

As spring approaches and our downtown area gets busier, the Glenwood Police Department wants to remind our residents, businesses, and visitors that parking regulations are being enforced. Before parking on a city street, please be mindful of any signs prohibiting parking or indicating a time restriction/limit. Also, look for yellow or red-painted curbs. Vehicles may not be parked in these areas. 

If you are looking for parking lots with longer-term parking, consider the lot on 7th Street behind City Hall or the parking garage on Cooper Ave. and 9th Street. Additionally, if you start your commute from within Glenwood, check out Ride Glenwood bus service which is zero-fare or RFTA buses which are free within each zone.
