Downtown Residential Parking Permit (Added resource this week)
- The city has launched a temporary program for those living in the downtown area of Milwaukie who need to park near their homes for extended periods of time because of illness, self-quarantine due to exposure, or the need to care for someone ill.
- If you live downtown and meet this criteria, you may apply for and receive a temporary permit to park in the lot across from City Hall or the library parking lot. The permits are limited to 2-week increments, with a maximum of four weeks per vehicle, to make sure enough parking stalls are available to those most in need.
- To
receive a permit, provide the following information to Shannan Coyle,
police records specialist, at coyles@milwaukieoregon.gov:
- Name and phone number
- Address in downtown Milwaukie
