The City is having an open house for the Boise & Eliot Parking Management district they are proposing to create. This area would not see any immediate parking permits or meters, but parking time limit signs are proposed for 2025 and an evaluation of those may lead to more tools being used within the district.

To learn more, city staff will be at:

Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Elementary School

1-4 PM, Sunday January 26th

I imagine the information at the open house will be more detailed than what is currently on the project website: https://www.portland.gov/transportation/parking/boise-parking/boise-parking

Here is a map from December of the proposed district.

If adopted, the City will create a Stakeholder Advisory Committee to manage the district which will have an open application. It is expected that some people who have been advising so far will stay on to help advise the implementation but new spots will be available as well.
