Calendar
The Area 19 parking permits and visitor passes are valid from May 1 through April 30 and must be renewed each year. Parking renewal sign-ups are conducted in the neighborhood during February and March and the new permits and passes are distributed in April. The scheduled dates are announced in the neighborhood newsletter.
For the permit period starting May 1, 2002, the renewal sign-ups have already been completed and the permits have been distributed. If you need a permit, please contact the Baltimore City Parking Office at 410/ 396-3042.

Hint for Removing Old Decals: Is your windshield covered with old parking decals because you can never get them off? Try using nail polish remover, with acetone, to dissolve the glue and the decal will be easy to remove. Others have said the heat from a hair dryer makes it easy to remove the decal. I like the good old fashioned razor blade scraper. Whatever your technique, remember to remove the old decal and attach your new permit directly to your windshield by May 1 in order to avoid getting that dreaded parking ticket.
