Reserved, off-street parking spaces are now available in downtown Rolla in time for the upcoming opening of two new parking facilities. Individuals who work, live or attend classes in the area will now have a guaranteed place to park.

The city will offer 143 reserved spaces on a first-come, first-served basis in one of three parking lots in the downtown area. Individuals may purchase a six-month parking sticker for $120 or twelve-month parking sticker for a reduced fee of $200, both non-refundable. Spaces are currently available at the 10th and Main Street lot, the lot between Pine and Rolla streets just south of 8th Street, and the new lot at 6th and Elm Street. Parking will be enforced by the Rolla Police Department.

For those interested in purchasing a reserved parking permit, or for more information, contact the city of Rolla Public Works Department at 364-8659, or visit the city’s website at rollacity.org.

The parking permits can be purchased immediately. Lots will be open by Oct. 17.
