Salt Lake City to allow 4-hour evening metered parking starting Sept. 15
Summary
Salt Lake City announced that, beginning Sept. 15, metered parking will allow up to four hours in the evenings Monday–Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.; daytime stays will remain limited to two hours. City officials said the change responds to feedback from a 2022 parking study.
Salt Lake City will allow up to four hours of metered parking on evenings Monday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., starting Sept. 15, an agency official said.
The official said the change is intended to make evening trips — "perfect for dinner, concerts, and events without having to move your car" — easier for residents and visitors while keeping daytime turnover in place. "We heard you," the official added, citing community input as the impetus for the policy change.
City staff made clear that daytime metered parking limits will not change: daytime stays will remain capped at two hours to preserve turnover for short errands and daytime businesses. The official said the adjustment is based on feedback gathered in a 2022 city parking study and framed the change as balancing flexibility for evening activities with daytime access needs.
The policy takes effect Sept. 15. The announcement did not specify details on enforcement changes, pricing adjustments, or how the city will measure the policy's impact; the official limited remarks to hours and the stated rationale. Residents seeking more information were directed to city parking resources (not specified in the announcement).
The city presented the shift as an operational change rather than a legislative action; no motion, vote, or follow-up hearing was mentioned in the remarks.
