San Diego Begins Longer Meter Hours, Sunday Enforcement in First Wave of Neighborhoods

Officials say added revenue will fund neighborhood infrastructure under rules requiring local reinvestment.

Overview

  • The rollout began Thursday in Pacific Beach and parts of Mid-City, with Pacific Beach meters extending to 10 p.m. and El Cajon Boulevard moving to 8 p.m. with Sunday enforcement limited to commercial areas.
  • Starting times remain 8 a.m. or 10 a.m. while end times shift later by roughly two hours depending on the neighborhood.
  • Uptown and Downtown are scheduled to adopt longer hours and Sunday enforcement in phases later this month and into September ahead of an Oct. 1 target.
  • City crews are placing stickers on meter signs to notify drivers of the changes, and waterfront meters overseen by the Port are not affected.
  • Vehicles with disabled placards may continue to park free at meters, and residents will be able to purchase permits when Sunday enforcement expands onto neighborhood streets.
