Grand Rapids City staff announced that the odd-even parking program is now in effect. On odd-numbered days of the month, drivers should park on the side of the street with odd house numbers; on even-numbered days, park on the side with even house numbers. The announcement said the rule is intended to allow street sweepers to access curb lanes and to prepare streets for snow, helping drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. The message noted that if a street does not display odd-even signage, normal parking rules apply. The brief statement closed with a thank-you and a reminder to stay safe.
