On a recent Tuesday evening, parking enforcement officer Garo Nahabed said that come 10 p.m., he would switch from ticketing cars along Brand Boulevard to giving them warnings.

Although signs along downtown Glendale’s main drag were changed about two weeks ago to reflect the new enforcement hours, which now go until midnight instead of 10 p.m., enforcement has not yet gone into effect.

“We just give warnings to let people know the city changed the signs,” Nahabed said.

Enforcement is likely to begin in mid-March, although no exact date has been set, according to Glendale city spokeswoman Eliza Papazian. Glendale City Council members voted to enact a host of parking changes in November.

Before 10 p.m., visitors parking on Brand will still be held accountable, Nahabed said, after dropping a pink slip on a vehicle’s windshield just after 8 p.m.

The same goes for Honolulu Avenue in Montrose, where enforcement hours have been extended to 8 p.m., from 6 p.m., Papazian said. Signs reflecting the new hours went up on Jan. 10.

Since Jan. 17, 1,363 warnings have been issued in Montrose, Papazian said. Since Feb. 3, about 300 warnings have been issued along Brand.

Before enforcement goes into effect, the goal is to further alert people to the changes through additional signage and outreach, Papazian said. Nahabed said his supervisor walks along Brand some evenings after 10 p.m. to personally alert visitors of the changes.

Besides the hour changes, meter costs have gone up in both downtown Glendale and Montrose. On Brand, parking now costs $2 an hour, instead of $1.50. Side streets and parking lots in downtown cost $1.50, hiked from $1. Parking on Honolulu also runs visitors $1.50, up from $1.
