North Hempstead, NY –North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio would like to announce that the Port Washington Parking District will begin offering evening hours on Thursday Nights in order to make the District’s services more accessible to District residents. The District will be open from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to allow District residents to purchase a yearly sticker parking permit, monthly or daily vouchers.

Regular office hours for the Parking District are Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. To purchase a permit, the District resident must provide the following: a valid driver’s license, vehicle registration, and a utility bill dated within the last four months. Applicants must have their vehicle present at time of purchase for an annual permit.

The Parking District owns and manages more than 10 parking lots in Port Washington, most designated exclusively for commuter use, as well as both on and off-street metered spaces to help alleviate parking congestion.

Metered spaces cost 25 cents per hour. On-street meter restrictions are in effect Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Off-street metered spaces are in effect Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with weekends free. Many meters contain a button (when pushed) which allows motorists 10 minutes of free parking. Parking restrictions are not in effect during federal holidays.

The Parking District is located at 15 Vanderventer Avenue in Port Washington. If you see a broken parking meter or have a question related to the Parking District, please call 311 or (516) 869-6311 from outside the Town of North Hempstead.
