The City of Paso Robles is following recommendations provided by the Downtown Parking Advisory Commission and City Council to update the short-term parking spaces in Downtown to ‘bookend’ style spaces. The short-term (30-minute) parking spaces will be conveniently located at the end of most blocks. The 30-minute spaces are designed to offer customers that are stopping for a quick errand convenient parking. There is no need to start a parking session or pay for parking in the short-term spaces. 
There are currently 24 short-term parking spaces in Downtown. Eight of the current short-term spaces will be removed and there will be 19 new short-term spaces added for an updated total of 35 short-term spaces.
