DENVER (KDVR) — Parking illegally in Denver is about to get a lot more expensive.
The city says the new parking fees and enforcement will make Denver a safer and easier place to get around.
The new fees are going into effect Feb. 1, with most fees increasing by $10.
Increasing parking fees around Denver include:
- Blocking a bike lane, sidewalk or crosswalk went from $25 to $65.
- Illegally parking in an accessible parking space went from 150$ to $350.
- Large trucks and semis parking on residential streets went from $25 to $250.
The city says the new fines will bring in more than $6 million. That money will go to a special fund for safety and mobility programs throughout the city.
