MONROE — The Monroe Police Department, in conjunction with the Monroe Street Department, reminds all persons that Calendar Parking regulations for the City of Monroe will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 15 and will continue through March 31, 2025. 

Persons must park on the even side of streets and avenues on even numbered dates, and the odd side on odd numbered dates. 

The ordinance is enforced from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. each day. Persons should park their vehicles at night on the side of the street or avenue that will be in effect after midnight. A quick method to determine which side of the street the odd or even, is to look at a house address number, and then park accordingly. 

Citations for violation of the ordinance begin at $20 and increase for multiple offenses. Nearly all areas in the city are covered by these regulations, with the exception of the downtown square and two blocks in any direction of the square. Areas across from no parking zones are also exempt. 

The city also has areas which are snow routes. If there is a snowfall of more than two inches, all vehicles must be removed from the street for snow removal. These areas are marked with signs indicating the snow route area.
