Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline recently implemented the city’s traditional relaxed parking program, hoping to make life easier for holiday shoppers in the city. The program allows for longer trips to Providence by extending time limits at parking meters and time limited parking spaces in certain parts of the city.
“I want to make the holiday experience as exciting and stress-free as possible for residents and visitors to the city, by relaxing parking restrictions,” Cicilline said in a release.
