Sacramento Parking Revisions Virtual Community Project Update Meetings, 11/13 + 11/14
The City of Sacramento is proposing limits on car parking spaces for certain projects, along with improved parking management and increased bicycle parking requirements to encourage more cycling. Join one of our two virtual community meetings to share your feedback!
About: The City approved a new policy in February 2024 to no longer require any property to supply car parking if they do not want to. The City now wants to go further and make sure projects do not supply too much car parking, which uses land inefficiently and increases costs for businesses and residents. Refining the City’s parking management practices will further improve the efficient provision of parking in Sacramento, while increasing the supply of bicycle parking will make it easier for Sacramentans to bike more often.
