HUGE PARKNG UPDATE
Just received from Cristie Steffy of the Parking Division:
“I wanted to share a quick update on the Residential Parking Program (RPP) in advance of a letter that will be sent to residents in existing RPP areas.
Building on our ongoing conversations, we will bring a recommendation to City Council in May to allow existing RPP areas to continue in the updated program without requiring requalification.
At this time:
- The registration timeline is being extended
- Existing permits remain valid
- Time-restricted parking signage will remain in place
Please feel free to share this information with your neighborhood if helpful. The formal letter will be mailed out to all addresses in the RPP areas in the coming week.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have and thank you for your continued engagement.

This is what we hoped for! A big thank you to all who wrote letters, attended the April 6 meeting at City Hall and the City Council meeting April 7. Also, a big shout out to all who helped contact their neighbors and distribute flyers, especially James MacFarlane, Paul Hierling, Mike Bell, and to Tom Reeves, president of New Monterey, for coordinating with our Old Town core group on strategy and who went door-to-door in his neighborhood. Change was brought by the efforts of all of you who went above and beyond to make the city aware of the problems of registration and the impact of our parking needs!
