Sacramento getting rid of free Sunday, holiday parking to tackle budget deficit

Major parking changes are coming to downtown and midtown Sacramento soon, after the Sacramento City Council voted Tuesday night to do away with free parking on Sundays and holidays at metered spaces. City leaders said the end of the free Sunday and holiday parking at metered spots is part of their overall plan to close the city’s $66 million budget deficit. The change will take effect on July 1 at the start of the new fiscal year. While Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg understands the change is not the most ideal situation, he said it was necessary in order to avoid other city programs and resources from being on the chopping block.
