Downtown Livermore Parking Changes On The Horizon
The city's flex zone policy allows for extra parking options in the fall and winter. What to expect.

The flex zone policy has been in place since 2005 and allows restaurants to utilize their storefront parking spots as seating areas in spring, summer and early fall, the association said.

Those areas are returned to parking spots when the first rains of October roll around, just in time for the holiday shopping season, the association said. Storefront parking spots are more convenient for shoppers braving inclement weather.
