1) The future of parking on neighborhood streets (Wednesday, Nov. 18)

Back in June, over 160 people attended The Future of Parking: Portland Parking Symposium, where leading experts shared their innovative parking approaches, tools, and strategies relevant to our Portland communities. Infused with this knowledge, two public advisory committees have carefully studied and explored ways to improve the state of parking in our Central City and in our Centers and Corridors.

Come see the committees’ preliminary recommendations, including new programs for better management of public parking and updated Central City zoning recommendations for new and existing private parking. Provide your own feedback to shape the future of parking in Portland.
