New Braunfels council reviews managed downtown parking plan proposing paid on-street system
Summary
City staff presented a plan to move downtown to a managed parking system that would introduce paid on‑street parking (first hour free, $2 per additional hour, $10 daily max), begin community outreach and aim for a June launch; council heard details but took no formal action.
The New Braunfels City Council on Monday heard a presentation outlining a proposal to move downtown to a managed parking system that would introduce paid on‑street parking and reinvest revenue into enforcement and new parking supply.
City economic and community development staff said the proposal aims to improve turnover for businesses, reduce congestion and generate funding to add parking supply. Jeff Jewell, the city’s economic and community development director, told council the plan would keep the first hour free, charge $2 for each additional hour with a $10 daily maximum, and reinvest revenue into enforcement, parking acquisitions and potential structured parking.
