Thanks to Chris Schorre at the Downtown Commission for this.
“Generally, prices are around $5-7 M-W and around $8-10 Thursday, Friday and weekends. NOTE: Parking is free on downtown streets after 5:30PM daily and on weekends so you can ignore those Pay to Park signs during those times.”
The pay boxes will not take your money for the times when parking is free (after 5:30 and weekends). They won’t even let you add more than the remaining pay time (example: 30 minutes is the most you can purchase if you park at 5:00).
