Question Moving Downtown: Street Use Permit from City for Moving Truck

Anyone ever move into a house/building with city controlled public street parking out front? Where did the moving truck park? I want to make sure the moving truck isn't blocking the narrow street or get fined.

I'm a little surprised neither my moving company or property manager had any info when I asked them about it. So I called 311 and they said it was easy breezy, just apply for street use and no parking permits. Except the city website is really sparse on the details of how this works.

311 also said the city would set up the no parking zone for me for an extra fee but didn't know how much extra. All they knew was that the street use permit is $25/day and the no parking permit was free and that I need both. But the website says the applicant is solely responsible for obtaining signs from a 3rd party and setting them up, which I found very odd.

Does all this sound right? The city puts up signs and I'm good to go for $25?

TIA.
