Sunday Parking Meters Are Coming Back to SF
As part of the broad changes approved by SFMTA on Tuesday that included Muni fare hikes, San Francisco has also approved extending parking meter hours to include weeknights until 10pm and Sundays in some neighborhoods.
This isn’t the first time that SF has experimented with Sunday meters throughout the city. In January 2013 the city implemented Sunday meters, but that policy only lasted about 18 months before being rescinded in July 2014.
Plus there are a few areas in the city where Sunday meters have existed on SF Port property and near major event venues like, Fisherman’s Wharf, The Embarcadero, Nine off-street parking lots and Special Event Area around Oracle Park and Chase Center during special events.
An exact time table hasn’t been revealed yet as to when the Sunday and extended midweek parking meters will be implemented. Visit SFMTA.com to get updated when the changes are implemented. Currently, all SFMTA parking meters in the city are 50 cents an hour during the public health order.
