City Announces Parking Restrictions During The DNC

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – During the week of the Democratic National Convention, the city says they expect several demonstration groups to march down South Broad Street towards the Wells Fargo Center.

Due to this, the Mayor's office has announced that they will be enforcing a ban on median parking on South Broad Street between Washington and Packer Avenues.

Unlike the Pope's visit, the city says they expect any other parking restrictions to be temporary.

Before the weekend of July 23, and throughout the week of the DNC, residents are encouraged to check the street signs near their regular parking spots to ensure there are no temporary parking restrictions.

Enforcement will begin the morning of Sunday, July 24, and continue through end of day on July 29.

The city says curbside parking will still be allowed.

In the event your car is towed, you are advised to call (215) 686-SNOW.
