Have concerns, complaints about downtown Modesto parking? Here’s a chance to be heard

People who park their cars in downtown Modesto can weigh in on how the city could better manage its spaces.

This includes an online survey to help the city craft a Downtown Parking Master Plan.

The survey questions include how often people park downtown, how long it takes them to find a space, and whether the time limits are reasonable. Business owners can note whether the parking situation discourages customers. The survey is in English and Spanish.

Downtown has a mix of curbside spaces, parking lots and garages. The city owns three garages and four lots that charge fees. Many businesses have private parking, some of it in garages.
