Immobilization
The city has implemented a new immobilization device for parking enforcement in the Downtown and Westminster Station areas called the Barnacle.
Call 720-263-9120 or go to PAY.BARNACLEPARKING.COM to release the device from your vehicle.
The device securely attaches to the vehicle’s windshield using 1,000 pounds of force.
Once a vehicle has three or more outstanding parking violations, it is eligible for immobilization and the owner will be issued a notice of immobilization. The owner may dispute the validity of the notice within 21 days and ask for a review.
Please return Barnacle devices to the drop box located at the north entrance to the Downtown Westminster parking garage (8855 Eaton Street).
