 Zone 28 Facts
- The Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) for the Beacon Hill station area will be Zone 28.
- The hours of the zone will be Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm
- Most vehicles can stay up to two hours without a permit; in some locations a four-hour time limit is being installed at the request of nearby businesses
Community Input Incorporated Into Light Rail Parking Plans
- The ideas and concerns of residents and employees around the southeast light rail stations were critical to developing this parking management plan
- In response to community comments, here are changes from the December 2008 draft proposal:
- The zone boundary is extended east to 20 th Ave S between S Stevens St and S Bayview St.
- The blocks south of S Forest St and west of 15 th Ave S will not be included in the initial zone. Zone designation can be added later if street parking is significantly impacted by commuters
Zone 28 Schedule – What You Need to Know Now
- Installation of signs will begin in May or June – a door hanger will be delivered to each affected address approximately two weeks before installation is to begin
- RPZ Applications will be mailed out beginning in May
- Enforcement of new regulations will begin when Link light rail service begins in July

Beacon Hill Utilization Data
Throughout fall 2008, SDOT collected information about utilization, which is how many cars are parked on the streets around the light rail stations. This information, summarized in the Link Station Area Parking Study, is being used two ways: to help design proposals to manage on-street parking and to create a baseline that on-street parking conditions can be compared to in the future.
