While the road closures may cause headaches for some drivers on Sunday, it’s important to note that police said they will not be enforcing some on-street parking laws this weekend.

Parking enforcement officers will not be checking pay-and-display or metered areas and rush hour routes, but all other laws will continue to be enforced, according to police.
