Monday through Friday so crews can clean the streets. Residents and business owners on those blocks can apply for a special overnight permit under § 10.08.150.

The parking of motor vehicles is on the following streets prohibited between the hours of two o'clock (2:00) A.M. and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. Monday through Friday for the purpose of permitting street cleaning: A. Arthur Avenue from West Bonneville intersection to West Fremont intersection; ... ... H. Such other streets within the commercial districts which the city engineer and/or his/her designee and street department deem necessary to include on the street cleaning program.

Full Breakdown

Section 10.08.140 lists eight specific street segments, plus a catch-all for other commercial district streets the city engineer designates, where parking is banned every weeknight between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. so crews can run the street cleaning program; the ban runs Monday through Friday, exempting weekends. Named segments include Arthur Avenue between West Bonneville and West Fremont, Center Street between Grant and Seventh Avenues, Fifth Avenue between East Bonneville and East Fremont, Fourth Avenue between East Lewis and East Clark Streets, Main Street between West Benton and West Wyeth, Union Pacific Avenue between West Bonneville and West Fremont Streets, and a cluster of West Bonneville, Lewis, Center, Clark, Lander and Fremont Streets between Union Pacific and Arthur Avenues.

Business owners, their employees, and residents on these listed streets can apply under § 10.08.150 for a special parking permit from the police department's records division, valid six days a week from Saturday morning through Thursday morning, for a twelve dollar annual fee, letting them park overnight near their home or business; the permit is never valid on the Friday morning street cleaning window, or on Thursday morning if the police department has marked that street's cleaning day as Thursday instead. The city engineer posts signs to make the restriction visible on each covered block.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a listed street during the 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. window draws a parking violation notice under § 10.08.190, with the fee set by City Council resolution under § 10.08.210. An owner without a valid § 10.08.150 permit who ignores the notice for 30 days faces a uniform citation prosecuted as an infraction under § 10.08.200.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hours does Pocatello ban overnight parking for street cleaning?
Between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M., Monday through Friday, on the specific streets listed in City Code § 10.08.140, such as segments of Arthur, Center, Fifth, Fourth, Main, and Union Pacific Avenues. The city engineer can add other commercial district streets to the cleaning program as needed.
Can Pocatello residents get a permit to park overnight on a street-cleaning street?
Yes. Section 10.08.150 lets business owners, employees, and residents on those listed streets buy a twelve dollar annual permit from the police department's records division, valid Saturday morning through Thursday morning; it is never valid during the Friday morning cleaning window.
Does Pocatello's night parking ban apply on weekends?
No. City Code § 10.08.140 restricts parking on the listed streets only between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. Monday through Friday for street cleaning, so parking on those same blocks Friday night through Monday morning is not covered by this section.
