Press release from the City of Alameda:

ALAMEDA, CA — The City of Alameda's new service moves most parking enforcement activities from the Police Department to the Public Works Department, enabling it to focus more closely on transportation and clean water goals.

The Police Department will continue to handle vehicle towing in the public right-of-way, including the abandoned vehicle program.

  • Always check signs, curb paint, and parking meter screens, even if there’s a parklet between the parking space and the curb.
  • Pay at the meter 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday — Saturday, except posted holidays.
  • Do not overstay posted time limits.
  • Never double-park, park in a red zone, block a sidewalk or crosswalk, or park in an area protected with bollards. These cause safety hazards.
  • In the Park Street area, avoid circling for parking by going straight to the Civic Center Parking Structure at 1416 Oak Street. Parking here is cheaper and more plentiful than on the street.
  • Bike, walk, or take transit.

    • For more information, visit the City’s newly published parking webpage and FAQs: www.AlamedaParking.org
