Gainesville's director of transportation sent commissioners a memo listing nine changes members of his department are making to parking in downtown

The article from WCJB dated June 13, 2025, discusses the ongoing changes to downtown Gainesville's parking policy due to public backlash. Initially, the city introduced paid parking to manage congestion and encourage turnover, but this led to significant complaints from residents and local businesses about the cost and inconvenience. In response, transportation leaders are now revising the policy to include more free parking options and extended time limits in certain areas. The new adjustments aim to balance the needs of the community while still addressing the original goals of reducing traffic and supporting local commerce. Public feedback sessions are planned to ensure the revised policy better meets the community's expectations.
