After about a year of studying parking in the West Seattle Junction, the Seattle Department of Transportation is making several suggestions to “improve parking management” in the area, which include adding two-hour time limits next to businesses and converting one-hour limits to two.

These changes are expected to improve predictability and make it easier for customers to find parking, according to a report by the transportation department.

Some highlights of the city’s study are:

- Two-hour time limit parking is well used throughout the day.

- Drivers comply with time limits more than 90 percent of the time on California Avenue Southwest and more than 80 percent of the time on adjacent residential streets.

- Parking is used most during mid-morning and afternoon hours.

- In unrestricted parking spaces most cars park for a short time: On California Avenue Southwest more than 70 percent of drivers park for three hours or less. On residential streets adjacent to California Avenue Southwest more than 50 percent of drivers park for three hours or less.

Feedback is due to the city by Nov. 9. Contact Danté Taylor, the West Seattle Junction Parking Project Manager at JunctionParking@seattle.gov or call (206) 684-8186.
