On Saturday, August 1, downtown Eau Claire will transition to a paid parking system. This includes on-street parking, kiosks, and updated parking ramp pricing. This map shows you pricing for on-street parking, which is either $1.00 or 50 cents per hour. Parking lots and ramps (shown in purple) all have slightly different rules (see below).

Note: On-street is free on weekdays 6am–1pm, on Sundays, and on holidays; and there is no two hour limit during these times.
