Several streets close to downtown San Leandro BART Station will soon see 4-hour parking limits restored in order to increase parking availability for nearby residents, businesses and short-term commuters. All day parking in these areas had been temporarily allowed due to the nearby construction projects that were impacting parking. The changes will affect Callan Ave, Thorton Street, Parrott Street and the 1500-1600 blocks of San Leandro Blvd. Implementation, which includes new parking signs, is expected to be completed during the month of March 2018.
