Following a two-month pause in parking enforcement in public parking lots and spaces located in the downtown district, the Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) on May 26th approved its parking committee’s recommendation to resume normal operations effective Friday, May 29th. Parking enforcement downtown was all but suspended in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and during the State of Florida “Safer at Home” orders. 

In the wake of COVID-19, a section of Palafox Street in downtown Pensacola is being closed to vehicle traffic for "Sunday Strolls" every Sunday in May and June to promote safe outdoor retail and restaurant activities and support local businesses. 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Downtown Parking Management District (DPMD) is taking necessary precautions to help the public continue to navigate the downtown parking system. This page will be updated as new information is made available:

Due to Covid-19, all Downtown Improvement Board Committee and Board meetings will be held virtually via phone/video conference meeting platform ZOOM, until further notice. Please note the meeting registration details for each below. In order to have required "Sign In", a registration process is being used and once complete you will receive call-in details for the meeting(s) you have registered for.  

The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) is partnering with downtown restaurants to implement a curbside pick-up service following the most recent guidance from Mayor Grover Robinson regarding COVID-19 that orders all restaurants in the city to only operate as take-out or delivery, starting on Monday, March 23 at 12:01 p.m. for the next two weeks.
