Permit options pitched to planning group amid housing growth and parking concerns

Parking shortages are becoming increasingly common in San Diego's denser neighborhoods as new housing places more pressure on limited curb space. At a recent Navajo Community Planning Group meeting, transportation advocacy group Ride SD proposed a flexible residential parking permit framework designed to help neighborhoods manage overflow parking without discouraging new housing. The proposal includes five permit models that communities could choose from based on local needs, aiming to balance parking demand with continued housing growth.
