Parking spaces will be temporarily reduced in Ripon from next week while resurfacing work is carried out at the city's biggest car park.
Work on the 193-bay Cathedral Car Park starts on Monday and is scheduled to be completed by February 11.
Signs say that over the three weeks, there will be 'restricted parking' available.
Other public car parks serving the city centre are at The Arcade, Market Place North (except on Thursdays) Victoria Grove, St Marygate and Marshall Way retail park.
Councillors voted unanimously to make the request to Harrogate Borough Council.
The contract is for a complete resurfacing of the car park, and to increase the number of parking spaces to 206, along with 10 disabled bays.
The council will also require the contractors to undertake trunking and ductwork in preparation for the installation of electric vehicle charging points.
