Parking

The Office of Transportation is responsible for developing and implementing parking policies and programs that serve the needs of residents, employees, and visitors, while also supporting City transportation and environmental goals.

Enforcement will continue to be paused until September 30, 2021; it will resume on October 1, 2021 in all commercial and residential parking districts. Vehicles without valid permits will receive warning notices only, but no tickets/citations through September 30, 2021.

Exception: Enforcement for issues like parking during street-sweeping, blocking fire hydrants and red curbs, and any other violations prohibited by law is always in effect.

Uplift Local & Public Parking

Portions of University Avenue and California Avenue will continue to be closed to through traffic to support in-street dining and retail experiences as part of the Uplift Local program. While local Downtown and Cal Ave. visitors & employees are encouraged to walk and bike, any visitors arriving by automobile are encouraged to Park Free at the City’s public garages and surface lots through September 30. Time restrictions, fees, and permit requirements are currently waived, but will return on October 1, 2021. Local business staff and employees are encouraged to utilize garage and lot availability to prioritize commercial curb space for pickup/dropoff, and active loading/unloading.
