members approved the establishment of a residential
parking permit program for Sundays in the downtown,
uptown, and mid -city areas. According to the
city's staff report, increased development and
growing parking demand has created the need to
modernize parking management policies. The permit
fee will be $150 per year for each vehicle. This
program aims to provide a discounted permit option
for residents living within two blocks of streets
where parking meter enforcement will extend to
Sundays. Some residents express concerns about
affordability, saying it's expensive enough to
live in this city as it is. The city expects
this expansion to generate approximately $2 .8
million in revenue annually. Now on to sports.
