Free Parking for Shoppers in Oakland Today
Christmas Eve is the second of two Saturdays when Oakland is giving holiday shoppers a break from parking fees
The City of Oakland announced last week it will let holiday shoppers park for free Saturday, Dec. 24. From the city's press release:
Parking at all parking meters will be free for the posted period of time (30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours). The free parking “holiday” applies to both standard meters and the parking kiosks that are located in many commercial districts.
Standard parking rules and time limits apply — if shoppers need additional parking time, they will need to move their car across the street if it is a two-way street, or park around the block if it is a one-way street. The city will be monitoring parked cars on a regular basis.
