The expansion of paid parking downtown was approved more than a decade ago, it just hasn't been fully implemented.
With most UC Davis students now gone for the summer, finding parking in downtown Davis is a little easier. But one of the biggest perks for many drivers has been the ability to park for free in some of these city-owned lots.
The plan would expand paid parking to the North F Street, South G Street, the E Street Plaza and the Amtrak train depot lots.
"There's usually free parking in there, but the streets are kind of hard because it's two-hour parking," said Drew Singh, manager of Steve's Pizza in Davis.
Singh said that many of his employees park in the North F Street lot during their shifts. He worries the change could create challenges for workers.
Meanwhile, just down the street at Open Rice Kitchen, next to the South G Street lot, employee Santiago Neri worries about how much the added cost could cut into his paycheck.
"I honestly think they should make parking more available and easier for the small businesses around here," Neri said. "I understand wanting to do it, but they should keep the people working here in mind."
If approved, these lots would account for approximately 16% of all parking spaces in downtown Davis.
