Community parking districts saga continues

A much-anticipated decision on San Diego’s community parking districts, including one in uptown, has been delayed. 

A review of the parking districts by city officials showed “concerning contract management practices” and spending weighted heavily toward administrative costs and low priority projects, according to a staff report.

The proposal was to eliminate the districts, take the 2026 budget year allocations of $1.8 million back and in future years, take 100% of all the revenues collected in the district. Under current policy the revenues are divided between the city and the districts. The City Council was set to act on the proposal at its meeting on Monday, but the matter has been returned to city staff. 

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens to the districts and the revenue they collect. Our partners at inewsource have the full story.
