The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea’s pilot program for paid parking on a five-block stretch of Ocean Avenue will start on Tuesday, December 2.
The experimental program, slated to last at least six months before it is reviewed by the City Council, will cover Ocean Avenue, Carmel’s main thoroughfare, between Junipero Avenue and Monte Verde Street. There will be one pay station mid-block on each side of the street, for a total of 10 stations, or kiosks.
The enforcement time will be from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days of the week.
The maximum parking time allowed will be four hours, after which the vehicle will have to be moved.
