Council to Discuss Permit Parking for the Residential Area near the High School On April 4th during the regularly scheduled Town Council meeting, the Council will revisit its March 7th decision to expand permit parking to residential neighborhoods near the high school. If you live on one of the following streets, your neighborhood may be eligible for residential permit parking or expansion of its current residential permit parking program: Johnson Avenue, Los Gatos Blvd, Loma Alta Avenue, Stacia Street, Wheeler Avenue, Charles Street, Bella Vista Avenue, Simons Way, and Pleasant Street. If you live on a street near the high school with permit parking, your parking enforcement hours may change from a 7:00 a.m. to a 9:00 a.m. start time and the parking enforcement period may become Monday through Friday during the academic year with non-enforcement during the summer. Neighborhoods currently without permit parking and not wishing to have permit parking will have an opportunity to “opt out” of the proposed program. The agenda and reports for the April 4, 2017 Council meeting will be available in the early evening on March 30, 2017: http://www.losgatosca.gov/2148/Town-Council-Agenda-Minutes You are welcome to submit comments or make testimony as described on the agenda. Here are some common questions and answers: Question: Why is this happening? Answer: Impacts from high school students parking on neighborhood streets have increased the interest in residential permits. To facilitate the implementation of parking permits for affected streets, the Town will provide for broad participation through a streamlined process. Question: Will permit parking be in effect during the summer, on weekends, and on school holidays? Answer: As currently proposed, permit parking will only be enforced on days when the high school is in session between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Question: How many permits may I buy? Do I have to buy permits? Answer: You may purchase up to four (4) individual parking permits. Two (2) guest passes are provided with the purchase of your first permit. Permits are specific to the vehicle they are purchased for and may not be shared. Guest passes may only be used on a guest’s vehicle. It is not required that you or your guests display a permit to park in a permit area. If you park in the restricted area during enforcement times, you will be subject to the time limitations without a permit. Question: What if my block votes not to be included? Answer: If 25% of residents on a block vote not to be included, the Town will work with those block(s) to explore options.
