Police step up parking patrols

The Dalles Police Department will be actively enforcing the downtown parking ordinance during the holiday season with an officer on foot patrol along designated areas of First through Fifth streets. “Most of the year, enforcement of this ordinance is complaint-driven but during the holiday season we actively enforce,” said Chief Jay Waterbury.

He said people living or working in the downtown blocks are prohibited from parking in front of stores in areas marked on the map shown above between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., except as allowed for deliveries.
