The upcoming Monday is Labor Day, so those sticking around town for the weekend should be aware of some closures ahead.
Most city services are impacted by the holiday, from the local animal shelter to courts.
On the bright side: parking enforcement is suspended for metered spaces, residential permit parking districts, and other areas with signed parking time limits. Note: this suspension of enforcement does not apply to areas where parking is normally prohibited, like no parking zones, loading zones, or spaces for persons with disabilities.
