Public Works Presents GoBerkeley Pilot Presentation on Potential Parking Changes

The Claremont Branch Library is hosting a meeting on Wednesday for the community to learn more about the City's ambitious new pilot program that aims to improve residents' travel experience in key areas of Berkeley.

The City of Berkeley’s Public Works’ Department will talk about the City's 3-year pilot program, goBerkeley, a travel initiative designed to reduce congestion, improve parking options, and promote alternatives to driving in the Downtown Berkeley, Southside, and Elmwood neighborhoods. The informal community discussion event is set for Wednesday, May 22 from 6 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.

This event will give members of the community a chance to speak directly with staff members from Public Works’ Department about the results of the City’s initial round of data collection on parking issues and potential changes to parking rates and time limits to address those issues. 

GoBerkeley staff will also be available to discuss components of the goBerkeley Employee Benefits program, which includes plans to offer up to 1,000 free one-year AC Transit passes and a limited number of discounted City Carshare memberships to businesses in the pilot areas.
