Share Parking on Euclid Avenue: I understand that Euclid Avenue is part of the residential parking permit program. We have permits for our two vehicles and two guest parking permits. During the summer and fall season, Casanova park is used frequently for parties, and child friendly events. During these events, it is usually that the visitors park along Euclid Avenue for the duration of their event -- four to six hours -- and sometimes block driveways. When we leave the area to run errands on the weekends, we return to a full neighborhood of parked cars,. and sometime cannot park in our driveway or have to walk several blocks to carry groceries, etc to home. We understand that living next to a park brings weekend visitors but on occasion they do not seem to respect the neighborhood leaving their garbage on the sidewalks and balloons floating through the neighborhood. When there are active events at the fairgrounds it only magnifies the parking problem. We want the visitors to enjoy the park but wonder what conditions are required by the visitor and their guests that impact the neighborhood. on Facebook

Hi! Thank you for sharing your expierence of living near Casanova Park, and I can hear how frusterating it is to deal with parking challenges and garbage produced. Sounds like you're asking what the rules are for someone having an event at Casanova Park which you can find more information about by visiting the City of Monterey's Park and Recreation page.

Share Here are a few ideas, questions .. thank you.. we’d like to have mentioned at the meeting - unfortunately, we can not attend.
Lack of communication with both the Fairgrounds and Golf course on late changes to their attendances and impacts are forcing us to ask for parking enforcement on all their events.
The Porsche event at the Golf course and the Motorsports attracting the Fast and Furious crowds are prime examples.
There has to be in place alternative parking provided by them in advance instead of impacting our residents.
There are still repercussions from the Fair fights, today Monterey Police announced 9 arrests tying the fighting to a shooting in Seaside,
I am hearing that many residents feel the present program is punitive to residents here, they object to the limit on guests parking passes when they have guests or parties, they are presently getting citations, even contractors working on their houses get cited. They want livable rules.
The present program keeps parking orderly, without the program we experience blocked driveways, parking on corners blocking public safety vehicles, we get increased litter, prowlers, car break-ins, all targets of opportunity from wandering strangers.
So far the vast majority do not want a permanent program and we doubt that the City has adequate staffing or resources for that. on Facebook

Thanks so much for posting and sharing your concerns. We hear you on the lack of communication from the Fairgrounds and Golf Course, the parking and safety impacts from large events, and the frustrations with guest passes and contractor citations under the current program. These are important points, and they’ll be part of the discussion at today’s meeting. We really appreciate you taking the time to weigh in.

Share There doesn’t seem to be a consistent parking enforcement policy. The sign on the head of Ramona has been rotated so no one can read it anymore, but it used to say one hour parking for non-residence. That has never been enforced and recently when we had a car parked out in front of our house for three days, the officer said there’s no policy for nonresident parking. The car in front of our house appears to be abandoned and even though I called into Parking, it’s not been marked after three days. on Facebook

Thanks for sharing your concerns—consistent parking enforcement is definitely key to keeping things running smoothly! You're absolutely right to call the Parking Office at 831-646-3953 when a car has been parked for more than three days. Once reported, our team will mark the vehicle and check back after 72 hours to see if it's been moved. If you feel your concern has not been addressed please email me at lbradley@monterey.org and I would be happy to assist!
As for Ramona Ave, it's currently not part of the Residential Parking Permit (RPP) program, which means parking there is still first-come, first-served. If you're interested in seeing your neighborhood join the updated RPP program, stay tuned—we’ll be sharing how you can petition to be included soon!

Share Casanova Oak, Knoll Park- the park has not provided any parking for those renting the park. This Results in users parking all the way down Ramona sometimes as far as Edinborough Circle. Often on weekends were unable to park in front of our house. The entire length of Euclid is no parking because of the sidewalk making this even a greater impact on the residence of the neighborhood. The lack of parking makes us inefficient for renting it to the public. on Facebook

Share My present CR permit passes say I can only park on the 500 block of Foam which has only 12 spaces, making it nearly impossible to park on weekends and summers. But on the latest map, published on the program’s website, it looks like I can park on Foam from Hoffman all the way to Reeside and on Wave from Hoffman to Drake with a bit of McClellan in between. Is that true? on Facebook

You're absolutely right—parking in your neighborhood, especially on weekends and during the summer season, can be very challenging.
While your permit is assigned to your specific block, if no spaces are available there, you are allowed to park as close as possible to your block on other streets within the CR zone. The map on the website reflects the full boundaries of the CR zone, which includes additional streets where your permit is valid in this circumstance.

Share Unfortunately, all of the results of the "Residential Permit Survey" are reported as percentages. How many residents completed a parking survey questionnaire? How about releasing a version of the results that shows the actual number of responses for each choice for every question as well as the percentage? For example, the City of Monterey reports that about 22% of survey respondents reside in the Old Town neighborhood: Is that 11 of 50, 110 of 500, 330 of 1,500, or something else altogether? The sample size is an important component in evaluating the validity of the survey's results and to what it extent it might accurately reflect the experiences and opinions of the city's residents on these parking matters. Thanks! on Facebook
