City staff will be accepting input until Sept. 15th, 2025 and I hope people will support the parking fees as it will help provide much needed funds for the park while discouraging gratuitous car trips in the neighborhood. Traffic and pollution cause by park visitor can be a lot for Uptown.

Key Topics for Discussion and Next Steps
Parks and Recreation Department
Discussion Points and Feedback
• Staff welcomes input on several draft recommendations:
• Drop off zones, curb colors and time limits, etc.
• Tram Routes/Stops and Frequency
• Proposed $12 all-day rate for Level 1 lots and $6 for Level 2 and 3 lots
• Ending paid parking enforcement at 8 PM daily
• Two hours of free parking at Inspiration Point (Lower).
• Free parking for park tenants, City staff, and volunteers
• Rate structure and rules for special events
• Staff will incorporate feedback from the Committee and the public to refine the final
proposal, for City Council approval targeting September 15th, 2025.
• Upon approval, program rollout is scheduled for early October including signage, kiosk installation, and citywide communications, including website rollout.
• Resident portal activation will occur near January 2026.
