City staff announces extended metered parking hours starting Sept. 15
Summary
A city staff member said 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., while daytime stays will remain limited to two hours; the change is attributed to public feedback and a 2022 city parking study.
A city staff member announced that starting Sept. 15 metered parking will allow up to four hours in the evenings Monday through Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. "Starting September 15, metered parking will allow up to 4 hours in the evenings, Monday through Saturday, 6PM to 10PM," the staff member said.
The staff member said the change is intended to give residents and visitors more flexibility for evening activities such as dinner, concerts and events while preserving short-term turnover during the day. "Perfect for dinner, concerts, and events without having to move your car," the staff member said. The announcement also reiterated that daytime stays will remain limited to two hours "to keep spots open for quick trips."
The staff member described the update as responsive to public input and to findings from "a 2022 city parking study" aimed at making parking "more flexible and balanced." The transcript did not include the study's title, a citation, or details on rate changes, enforcement, or which specific neighborhoods will be affected. Those details were not specified in the remarks.
The change takes effect Sept. 15. The transcript does not identify the city department issuing further guidance or a contact for questions; those details were not specified.
