Community Parking Program
Uptown Triangle

The Uptown Triangle is one of the first neighborhoods to work with SDOT to improve on-street parking management through the Community Parking Program.

Since April, SDOT staff have met with community organizations, held conversations with individual property owners, residents, and businesses, and have conducted an on-street parking study. The input from all of these sources has been used to design new parking regulations for much of the Uptown Triangle neighborhood.

Beginning in October, pay station kiosks will replace all parking meters and improve customer convenience by accepting debit and credit cards, as well as coins. Additional on-street parking changes can be seen on this map and will include:

• Converting free parking to a combination of 2-hr and 10-hr pay stations throughout the area
• Converting free load zones to paid load zones
• Converting truck load zones to 30-minute paid commercial vehicle zones

A letter describing the changes was sent to all Uptown Triangle property owners, businesses, and residents the week of September 8, 2008.

Parking Change Schedule

• Pay station installation is expected to start in mid-October and last through mid-November
• Prior to installation, sidewalk markings will be made to denote kiosk and sign locations (this will begin in mid-September)
• Temporary blue street signs will be installed in advance to notify area parkers
