Wilmington Will Resume Metered and Limited Time Parking Enforcement on July 13
The city of Wilmington has announced today that parking enforcement, including parking meters and other limited-time regulations, which was suspended in March will resume in effect as of Monday July 13, in the Downtown and Riverfront Districts. Street cleaning and other services will remain suspended; city government buildings will remain closed to the public.
Mayor Purzycki stated, “Various needs have to be balanced in the COVID era as we all try to maneuver through it. So, while metered and other time-based parking enforcement will resume assisting Downtown and Riverfront businesses, we will continue to suspend other types of enforcement because there are still many people working from home. The City will continue to assess what’s best for Wilmington as we adjust to the pandemic.”
Parking Regulation Enforcement Officers (PREOs) will also continue issuing citations for other parking infractions such as blocking fire hydrants, intersections, and driveways.
Residents who live Downtown are encouraged to contact Colonial Parking at 302-651-3600 for more information about free parking availabilities.
The following services and programs will continue to be suspended until further notice:
• booting and towing of vehicles for delinquent fines and fees owed to the City
• street cleaning so residents working from home do not have to move their vehicles
• two-hour neighborhood parking restrictions because large numbers of residents are still working from home
• Water utility service disconnections although residents and businesses are urged to make at least partial payments to prevent further delinquencies
• Sheriff Sales
