Jan. 9 Project Update

Thank you to everyone who shared input with us in the past few months — including those who attended our October events, the businesses and City commissions we met with in November and everyone who has used this webpage to provide feedback. We met with City Council on Dec. 9 to get direction on how to move forward with Downtown Parking Management Updates.

Here's what we heard from City Council:

• Support for adjusting parking fines and fees and for increasing enforcement hours
• A need for a solution for downtown employees
• A request for more research on future downtown parking needs and how changes could affect the system

What we're focusing on next:

• Updating fines and fees: We'll update parking fines to match industry and regional standards and develop a plan to adjust permit fees.
• Expanded enforcement hours: We'll update parking enforcement hours to Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• More outreach: We'll do additional, focused outreach with downtown businesses.
• Improved garage technology: We'll study options for automated license plate recognition (LPR) and gated systems in City parking garages.

As always, you can submit comments or ask questions on this webpage.

We'll share another update as work continues. You can sign up for these updates by clicking or tapping the Subscribe button on this page.
