City Evaluates Weekend and Evening Parking Options
City staff say the owner of a North El Camino Real block is not open to leasing spaces for public parking. A potential weekend or after hours lot is the Dorothy Visser Senior Center at 117 Avenida Victoria, closed when the center isn’t in use. Other ideas include stricter enforcement, converting Granada to 3 hour limits, expanding Cabrillo lot, ending waivers for new restaurants, 90 minute Del Mar limits, pay parking with better enforcement, and smart parking to alert drivers and officers. Contact writer at 449-492-5127 or fswegles@ocregister.com.
