Once the project is complete there will be on-street parking throughout most of the Channelside District.
In areas where there is already on-street parking, some of the angled parking spots will be changed to parallel spots.
The city has been working to keep up with the growth of the neighborhood and says these parking changes are a necessary next step.
“Our master plan envisioned putting all new streetscapes and realigning the roads to have on street parking and to be addressable and walkable within the new neighborhood,” said Urban Development Manager Rob Rosner.
