On Monday, January 7th, 2008, a campus area parking ban will
be implemented by the Columbus Police Department in response
to the National Championship football game. The parking ban
will aid in preventing property damage to vehicles that would
have been parked along key streets.
The parking ban is effective beginning at 4:00pm on Monday,
January 7th, 2008 and will continue through 4:00am on Tuesday
January 8th, 2008.
The parking ban will be in effect for the following
streets:
- Chittenden Avenue, between High Street and Summit Street;
both sides of the street
- 12th Avenue, between High Street and Summit Street; both
sides of the street
- 14th Avenue, between High Street and Indianola; both sides
of the street
Parking Accommodations
The Columbus Division of Police and The Ohio State University
have made arrangements for individuals living on the affected
streets to park at the Carmack Lot # 5 on West Campus, located
on the southwest corner of Carmack and Kenny Road. Individuals
may begin parking at this location starting the evening of
Sunday, January 6, but all vehicles must be removed by the
evening of Tuesday, January 8, 2008.

Starting on Monday, January 7 at 4 pm, Columbus Police
and wreckers will begin issuing citations and moving vehicles
parked on the listed streets to the OSU West Campus, Carmack
Lot # 5, located at the southwest corner of Carmack and Kenny
Road. Each car that is towed
to Carmack Lot #5 will be issued a $20 citation for violating
a “no parking” ban.
Impounding of Vehicles
Any vehicle that is parked on the listed streets after the
initial moving period will be issued a parking ticket and
impounded to the Columbus Division of Police impound lot at
400 West Whittier Avenue. Individuals believing their vehicle
may have been towed should call 614-645-6400. Please have
your license plate information and the location where the
vehicle was parked.
Cost of Impounding and Ticket
The cost to retrieve an impounded vehicle will be at least
$130 depending on the specific violation cited and how quickly
the owner claims the car. The towing fee is $95 and there
is a $15/day storage fee that starts the minute the vehicle
arrives at the impound lot. Parking fines range from $20 for
violating a “no parking” zone to $250 for unauthorized
parking in a handicap zone.
