Canal Neighborhood Parking Study In City Of San Rafael

Press release from the City of San Rafael:

February 11, 2022

One of the big transportation issues in the Canal neighborhood is the on-street parking supply that can’t keep up with the parking demand. With the help of W-trans, and in collaboration with Parking Services, the area has been studied and assessed for potential improvements. After changing the parking time limits to 24 hours in the residential areas and other changes in the commercial core, we saw a decline in demand for on-street parking, but it didn’t completely solve the problem. We continue to make changes, such as restriping a street with angled parking or extending pavement limits to allow for more on street parking. We are working with the community to figure out additional measures that will improve the neighborhood.
