Knowing that most people are self isolating at homes, the City of Pasadena Department of Transportation has halted parking citations for Street Sweeping for Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
By News Desk
As for halting ticketing for an extended period of time, that requires an action by Pasadena City Council which is currently holding a special emergency meeting to discuss parking among other urgent matters.
Update
Parking Division of the Pasadena Department of Transportation has implemented temporary modifications to parking policy:
- Suspension of enforcement of the overnight parking ordinance.
- Suspension of enforcement of time limits in residential neighborhoods.
- Suspension of daytime street sweeping restrictions.
- Suspension of payment at all curbside parking spaces.
- All metered parking spaces will be temporarily converted to 20 minute parking to facilitate delivery and pick-up of food from restaurants. The 20 minute limit on these spaces will be enforced.
Individuals looking to park long-term should park in parking garages and walk to their destination. - Temporary suspension of non-critical vehicle impounds.
- Temporary suspension of booting and impounds for five or more past-due parking citations and for vehicles with expired registrations.
Enforcement
The following will still be enforced:
- All colored curb time limits.
- Time limits at the 20 minute spaces.
- Driveway blocks (by complaint only).
- Preferential parking districts, with the exception of the T-District (by complaint only).
- 72 hour parking violations (by complaint only, citations only, no impounds)
Emergency access and public safety violations, including, but not limited to: parking in alleyways, blocking fire hydrants, and parking in fire lanes
Parking garages
Parking garages will continue to operate as normal, but operations are being closely monitored and operations may be modified as necessary. Additional measures will be considered as the situation evolves.
This is a miracle!
They were ticketing early Sunday morning!
This was only for street sweeping.
Pasadena city council should consider lifting the parking restrictions they have on their streets. Most apartment off of Colorado blvd only have one parking and the city is pretty difficult in giving yearly permits to residents. This is just a big money making scam when people are struggling to make ends meat and are still being ticketed daily.
Stop ripping the poor people off!!!! This has to stop !!!!
amazing and hard to believe! Parking enforcement in Pasadena is brutal and un forgiving. My least favorite part of living here.
