The Public Works Downtown Team is responsible for the preservation of State Street Central Business District infrastructure including public right-of-way maintenance, oversight of The Downtown Organization program, managing Business Improvement District revenues, coordinating a team of Downtown Ambassadors, and the implementation and enforcement of the Economic Recovery Extension and Transition Ordinance.
City staff maintains ten parking lots and five parking structures with a total of over 3,000 parking stalls, serving over five million vehicles annually. Revenue from parking fees also supports the Downtown Plaza area encompassing the State Street Central Business District and the downtown paseo system.
The Downtown Parking Program operates in partnership with the downtown community to increase the economic viability within the Downtown Plaza while sustaining and enhancing its historical and livable qualities.
Downtown Parking manages all on-street parking in the City and is responsible for parking signs, colored curb restrictions, resident parking permits, and oversize vehicle permits. Downtown Parking works closely with Police Parking Enforcement to maintain state and municipal parking laws.
