- A standard citation for failing to pay a meter is $64 under the new enforcement rules.
- City records estimate about $1.3 million in additional yearly revenue for the general fund as officials address a projected $40 million budget shortfall.
- Transportation leaders say Sunday metering is designed to increase turnover and keep spaces available, targeting roughly 85% occupancy.
- The move follows a 2023 Lake Merritt Sunday pilot described as successful, while some small-business owners and residents oppose the fees and others voice support.
