Maddened by meters: SFMTA backs down on expanding parking hours after public outrage

A proposal that would have seen San Francisco parking meter hours expand into late nights and Sundays has been halted.

Board of Supervisors president Aaron Peskin and Supervisor Ahsha Safai announced Monday that they had reached an agreement with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to halt the plans after a backlash by city residents. The SFMTA had proposed increasing parking meter hours to 10 p.m. on weekdays, an increase of four hours, and adding meter hours from noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
