One-time and evening parking will cost residents NIS 9, up from NIS 7.50, while the non-resident rate will rise from NIS 30 to NIS 36.At the Basel, Tel Nordau, Bnei Dan, Chen Boulevard, and Gordon parking facilities, the discounted evening arrangement for residents will begin at 9 p.m., rather than 7 p.m. The resident discount at those locations will also be reduced from 75% to 50%.The Carmel 2 parking facility will not be affected by those changes, and its current payment rules and overnight parking arrangement will remain in effect.Residents who leave a vehicle parked for more than 96 consecutive hours will lose the discounted rate and be charged the full price. The municipality said this provision would be introduced at a later date, after the necessary system updates are completed.Ahuzot HaHof and the municipality said the revised prices would still be lower than those charged by nearby private parking facilities, while city residents would continue to receive reduced rates.Follow us on Google
