Disputing parking citations is about to get a lot more cumbersome in Denver. The city’s Parking Magistrate’s Office permanently closed on August 27, when Denver County Court laid off its five magistrates as well as five other employees. It also cut twenty more positions after it was asked to reduce its budget for 2026, according to court spokesperson Carolyn Tyler. The Parking Magistrate’s Office was responsible for resolving disputed parking citations. Without that office, Tyler says any parking disputes should fall to the Denver Department of Transportation & Infrastructure. According to DOTI spokesperson Nancy Kuhn, however, there is “no staff” in the department “to assume the duties and roles of those magistrates.” Instead, the current citation dispute process will essentially be abolished. ✍️ Read the full story by hannahmetzgermedia at westword.com or at the link in our bio. 📸 City and County of Denver #denver #denvercolorado #denvernews #denverparking #westword
