Parking Management Division's goal is to provide readily available, cost effective and convenient parking opportunities for Uptown employees and visitors. The Parking Management Division consists of a group of well-rounded, intelligent and professionally trained officers, who are dedicated to their jobs.

The responsibilities of the Parking Management Division include: day-to-day operations of the RiverCenter Garage, the City Services Center Garage, the Bay Avenue Garage, the 9th Street surface lot, the Columbus Consolidated Government Annex surface lot and enforcement of the parking ordinances enacted by the City of Columbus in designated areas.

The area of enforcement for Uptown parking is between 9th Street and 14th Street and Bay Avenue to 3rd Avenue. Each street within the enforcement area has its own designated parking restrictions. On streets outside of Broadway, vehicles must move to another block or to another space on the opposite side of the street within that block to avoid a citation. On Broadway, you cannot park more than two (2) hours the entire day on any given block. You must move to another block and your two (2) hour time starts over. .

The Parking Division also enforces parking ordinances at the following locations:

Lakebottom Park
From the south curb of Garrard Street on the north to the north curb of 13th Street on the south and from the east curb of 18th Avenue on the west to the west curb of Cherokee Avenue on the east.
