“Mondays with the Manager” Reminds Residents to Follow Parking Rules for Safety

In this week’s episode of "Mondays with the Manager", Town Manager Mark Blumstein highlights the importance of following parking rules in residential areas to help keep everyone safe, especially with more pedestrians, bicyclists and scooter riders sharing the road.

Residents and visitors are reminded of the following key parking regulations:

  • Do not park where there is a double yellow line.
  • Do not park where the curb is painted yellow.
  • Do not park within 30 feet of a stop sign, as required by Florida law.
  • Non-resident guests and visitors may park for one hour in designated pay-to-park zones.
  • Residents and resident-guests do not need to pay-to-park, but must park legally to avoid citations.

To assist with enforcement, new pay-to-park signage will soon be installed throughout Town. Each sign will display a zone number for easy access through mobile payment apps.

Resident guest parking placards are available for pickup at  Town Hall, window one. A virtual sign-up option will be launched soon to make the process even more convenient.

“Our parking enforcement team is working diligently to apply these rules consistently throughout Town,” said Town Manager Mark Blumstein. “Parking too close to stop signs or in restricted areas can block visibility and lead to dangerous situations. These regulations aren’t just about enforcement, they’re about safety.”

Residents are encouraged to park responsibly and remind guests to follow posted signage. For help with placards or general parking questions, call Town Hall during business hours (305) 861-4862.

"Mondays with the Manager" airs weekly on the Town’s social media channels and Channel 663/2007, providing residents with firsthand updates on Town operations, public safety efforts and upcoming projects.
