Starting this Saturday, August 1, paid parking will be enforced throughout downtown Eau Claire from 1pm-11pm, Monday-Saturday.
Here's what you should know if you're planning to stop by for a bike or scooter rental:
• Downtown parking will be facilitated through the Passport Parking app. Drivers enter the unique zone number displayed on nearby Passport signs. Our area's zone number is 54722.
• If you prefer not to use an app, a physical parking meter will be available across the street from The Local Store. It accepts coins and cards.
• Street parking in the surrounding zone costs $0.50 per hour. This is slightly cheaper than the $1.00 per hour zones further downtown.
• ALL surrounding street parking is free until 1pm.
• We share a lot across the street from the Oxbow Hotel and The Lakely. This lot is available for your use AFTER 5pm.
⭐ YOUR BEST BET: If you don't mind a short walk, look for parking on Wisconsin St. or Galloway St., where parking is always free. Be mindful to avoid blocking any driveways or garage doors.
