DOWNTOWN — Metered parking hours on Brand Boulevard could be in for a change after the Transportation and Parking Commission recommended this week that downtown visitors be allowed to park for up to four hours.
The City Council must still weigh in on the recommendation, which also suggested that meters start at 7 a.m. instead of the current 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The changes were supported by some downtown business owners who argued that since the city installed meters in November and adopted its new enforcement schedule, fewer patrons have been coming through their doors.
