Downtown Parking District Code Updates and Boundary
Summary
The parking district code dates to 1988 with a map last updated in 2004, and signage doesn't match code times. Council is considering expanding the district — roughly from 17th Street to Fifth Street and to the waterfront — which would affect nearby residential areas and require community engagement.

Impact analysis
No direct cost yet; code updates are staff work, but boundary changes could bring more areas under parking rules.
Downtown shoppers, businesses, and new development projects would get clearer, more consistent parking rules.
Residents in adjacent neighborhoods could face spillover parking impacts if the district expands without careful engagement.
