Update on Parking Bill

date posted: 30 Mar 2018

Councilmember Herbold has proposed an amendment to the legislation contained in Council Bill 119173 to exempt the area around the ferry terminal. The details are on page 55 of this City Council Staff Memo.. (The pages are numbered strangely. After letting the document load, search for “Amendment E3: Parking requirements near the Fauntleroy ferry terminal”)

It is important that we contact Lisa and the other PLUZ committee members to express our support. Contact information for each can be found here.
