City launches curbside parking program

The City of San Marcos launched a 90-day Curbside Parking Pilot Program Monday to assist downtown businesses with COVID-19 recovery efforts.

As part of the Main Street Program, the pilot will create 15-minute curbside parking spaces in areas of downtown where businesses are already offering curbside services.

“We created temporary curbside parking signage at the start of the pandemic, and both businesses and their customers appreciated this,” said Josie Falletta, downtown coordinator for Main Street. “This pilot will support businesses as they continue to make sales via curbside services, a strategy that has allowed many stores to weather this pandemic.”
