Show notes

It’s no secret that it can be difficult to park in San Francisco. But have you ever wondered why it may be so hard? In this episode, we discuss curb management and find out why available parking spaces seem to be so scarce in some SF neighborhoods. We hit the streets to see how curb management works and promotes safety. And we get tips on how to find parking with a minimum of frustration and how to use our new, more accessible parking meters and pay stations.

SFMTA Parking and Curb Management Policy Manager Hank Willson, Transportation Planner Shayda Rager, Senior Planner Brian Manford, Parking Meter Program Manager Tony Massetti and Parking Enforcement Supervisor Lisa Rodriguez all appear in the episode.
