SFMTA

The SFMTA unveiled its proposed two-year budget today, and it includes extending car parking meter hours to Sundays between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m., but not during evenings. On those afternoons, the proposal promises to curb the congestion that results from drivers cruising for free parking when it's in high demand. The measure is one of many budget gap-closing components in a plan that avoids raising transit fares.

Speaking of extending parking meter hours...

Giving away free curbside car parking when it's in demand on Sundays and evenings just doesn't make any sense.
