City staff proposes permit parking near Meredith Park to curb event parking
Summary
A proposed residential permit parking zone for the Historic Heights area around Meredith Park would allow resident window‑sticker permits (no fee), enforce during baseball season (Apr. 15–Sept. 15), and carry $50/$100 penalties for first/subsequent offenses. The resolution will appear on next week's agenda for final action.
City staff presented a draft resolution to create a residential permit parking zone for portions of the Historic Heights neighborhood near Meredith Park, aimed at reducing event‑day overflow parking that blocks residents' access.
"Having one of these permits doesn't guarantee you a parking spot in the zone, but it is going to prevent you from getting a ticket if you're parked there during the game," Jim Bender said, describing permits that would be valid for one year, identified by window stickers, available only to residents with vehicles registered in the zone, and carry a $50 first offense fine and $100 for subsequent offenses. Staff said signage would be installed and that a phased rollout may be necessary this season; the council agreed to place the resolution on the regular meeting agenda for adoption next week.
