During its July 18, 2023 regular business meeting the Council voted to adopt a proposal endorsed by the Downtown Association of Yakima (“DAY”) to increase the number of long-term, paid-permit parking spaces in the downtown City-owned parking lots (“downtown lots”) in order to increase funding for improved maintenance of the lots. The amendments to YMC 9.50 are consistent with the DAY proposal, and also include incidental updates, such as the addition of Juneteenth as an exception to parking enforcement, an additional alley designated for one-way travel, and the removal of other parking provisions inconsistent with current practices. |
