Oakland to enforce Sunday parking meters in move that could generate extra $1.6M a year

Oakland is eliminating free parking at meters in the city on Sundays starting Jan. 4, the city’s Department of Transportation announced.

Oakland motorists will have to pay at parking meters between noon and 6 p.m. on Sundays. The first 30 days after this change goes into effect will be a warning period, during which vehicle owners will receive a mailed warning if they fail to pay at parking meters. After the 30-day warning period is over, all violators — including first-time offenders — will receive a citation.
