Officers won’t be writing live tickets until February 19 which is about two weeks later than originally planned, reports The Dispatch.

The rules first went into effect on January 22.

The rules require anyone parking in one of five zones throughout Short North, Italian Village, and Victorian Village to pay by hour or to purchase a permit.
