San Jose leaders are urging the City Council to examine the potential impacts of a residential permit parking program in rapidly developing urban areas. Although the city previously eliminated minimum parking requirements to boost development and encourage public transportation use, Councilmembers have noted that this approach has led to parking difficulties for residents. They highlight the city's reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and stress the need for a comprehensive discussion about the implications of restricted parking. They are seeking the city manager's insight on administrative costs and policy considerations for implementing such a program.
The City of San Jose has made significant progress in crafting sustainable development standards to encourage dense, walkable neighborhoods that enable transit and bike use.
Having a full council discussion would be helpful as well because what happens is that once you have these restricted parking areas ... it pushes the need for parking into other areas.
