Monrovia's Canyon Park has been re-opened and will be patrolled by Park Rangers. The park will resume normal operating hours. This decision was made in an effort to give residents who are home somewhere to go where social distancing can be practiced in addition to being outdoors.
(UPDATE) The City of Monrovia is suspending all parking enforcement activities except for illegal parking that endangers the public or is considered a hazard, including blocking a fire hydrant, and red zone and ADA violations.
IMMEDIATE PUBLIC ADVISORY: Executive order issued today to proclaim a countywide curfew, which includes Monrovia. Due to civil unrest, a curfew has been implemented from 6pm today until 6am tomorrow.
Monrovia PD has been made aware of a group of cyclists that will be riding through our city on westbound Colorado today at noon. Officers will be in the area to insure the safety of both the cyclists and residents.

MPD will not be enforcing any street sweeping parking violations until after March 31st. We will instead focus on areas where health and safety is a priority. Tickets will still be issued for parking in an area with a colored curb or in front of a fire hydrant.
