ORIGINAL STORY
The City of Roanoke announced that daily and transient parking will be free in all PARK Roanoke garages during the extreme weather our area is expecting, beginning on Saturday. The free parking will continue until the city “resumes normal business operations.”
Over 15,000 gallons of brine have been applied to major roads and trouble areas across Roanoke. The city is asking those parking in populated areas during this event to use off-street parking as much as possible to allow snowplows to work unobstructed.
However, residents are still encouraged to stay off the roads as much as possible.
Those who are subscribed to the metropolis platform and paid during the free transient parking time period can receive a refund by contacting parking@parkroanoke.com.
