City offers holiday parking coupons to encourage shopping downtown

City of Boulder parking services will roll out several parking promotions for the holiday season to encourage shoppers to shop downtown.

Beginning Friday, Nov. 29 and running through Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2013, parking enforcement officers will surprise shoppers each day by randomly handing out coupons for “three hours FREE parking” at downtown pay station parking.  Parking enforcement officers will look for customers who are en route to a pay station and have not yet paid, and give them a coupon.  The randomly chosen customers will place the coupon on their dash, just like a pay station receipt.  The offer will be valid only for the day the customer receives the coupon.

Free downtown parking coupons will be handed out

Additionally, the city will provide downtown merchants with 30,000 one-hour free parking coupons, valid from Friday, Nov. 29 until Friday, Jan. 31, 2014.  These coupons will be honored at the St Julien and the 15th/Pearl garages only

Twenty-two thousand Boulder water utility bills sent out in November contained a flyer highlighting holiday events and a coupon for one-hour free at the 15th/Pearl and St Julien garages only.  Downtown Boulder, Inc. also sent out 12,000 mailers that highlighted holiday events in Downtown Boulder and included a one-hour free parking coupon for 15th/Pearl garage only.
