Downtown Parking
The Parking Strategy looks at the greater downtown (Shoreline to Evelyn to Calderon and El Camino Real). The study seeks to address parking challenges in the busiest part of downtown centered on Castro Street. We also recognize that the forces behind these challenges—the day-to-day behavior of everyone who lives, works, and visits downtown—extend beyond the boundary of the commercial core. There are many overlapping and interconnected factors contributing to the parking situation in downtown today, and the study seeks to address them with a full-picture approach.
On November 9, 2021, the Mountain View City Council adopted a Downtown Parking Strategy. The Strategy outlines 82 implementation items action across 18 strategies. The Downtown Parking Strategy is a 10-year strategy to address parking within the Downtown.
