What: converting several on-street spaces near takeout restaurants downtown to 15-minute parking.
Where it stands: On 2026-10-01 the committee voted unanimously to recommend three of four proposed locations, in front of Harvest Moon, Portland Pie and Bagel Central, and not the Patty Murphy's space because summer barriers block it.
Next: Run as a trial for at least a full year because the downtown economy is seasonal; enforcement passes only about every 90 minutes.
Details
Staff chose the locations because of nearby takeout use and public workshop feedback. Members noted existing 15-minute spaces nearby and that the Bagel Central area has many citations.
