Fan District
Richmond's Fan neighborhood has limited parking for residents in certain areas, therefore, parking without a permit on designated residential streets in the Fan District is restricted to residents of the district and guests of the residents (with a temporary permit or an annual visitor’s pass). The permit helps to ensure that residents of densely populated areas have reasonable access to parking near their residences. Cars parked in violation will be ticketed and possibly towed.

What are the two Fan Restricted Parking Zone boundaries?
There are two zones which will be divided at Lombardy Street.

Zone 2 includes all addresses west of Lombardy Street that are currently in the restricted parking district but does not include Lombardy Street.

How will we be able to distinguish the zones?
