The city made the following announcement when it comes to parking downtown:

To improve safety and reduce disturbances, speed bumps are being installed this week in the North Barstow parking ramp, and the top level of the ramp will be closed except to accommodate event parking. These changes aim to deter speeding, noisy gatherings, and prolonged use of the ramp for non parking purposes.
The installation of speed bumps will begin this week, with minimal disruption expected for those using the ramp. Signage will be posted at the entrance and throughout the ramp. The City of Eau Claire appreciates the community’s cooperation as we take these steps to improve the downtown experience and work to provide a safer and more peaceful environment for businesses, residents, and visitors.
