Providence eases up on parking for holidays

PROVIDENCE - The city starts its relaxed parking program today to make it easier for holiday shoppers to visit downtown stores.

No tickets for overtime violations will be issued at metered parking spaces or at parking spaces with time limitations in much of downtown Providence, parts of South Main Street and North Main Street, Wayland Square and Thayer Street. The program runs between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday until Jan. 2.

Cars parked in illegal spaces, including cross walks and tow zones, will still be ticketed.
