This summer, SDOT installed new parking regulations to help better serve the variety of Pike/Pine parking needs. The changes include new 2-hour time limit signs, restricted parking zone spaces, and 2-hour and 10-hour paid parking spaces.
You can see the final plan mailing that went out to project area residents, businesses, and property owners, here. The slideshow below includes background information, details on the final plan, before and after parking maps, and more – take a look! (Note: slideshow is best viewed at your own pace).
If you have questions or comments about these changes, please contact project manager Allison Schwartz at PikePineParking@seattle.gov or (206) 386-4654.

Why change parking in Pike/Pine?
Pike/Pine is the densest neighborhood in the City, meaning there are many more people and vehicles than there are parking spaces. SDOT is making these changes to:
Provide more reliable customer and resident access,
Promote more dependable parking turnover in high demand areas and where compliance with existing signs is poor, and
Enhance neighborhood livability.
