俄勒冈州波特兰市拟将莫达中心周边活动停车费提至每小时8美元，市议会10月29日表决
俄勒冈州姆尔特诺默县波特兰市消息，据《波特兰焦点》10月27日报道，波特兰市交通局提议，在莫达中心周边部分街区，重大活动期间的停车费从每小时5.40美元提高到8美元，市议会预计10月29日（周四）对方案进行表决。提议针对莫达中心以北伊利奥特社区的部分街区：当一场活动预计吸引至少1万人时，相关街区的活动停车费按新标准收取，停车3小时将花费24美元，现行标准下为16.20美元，持有V区停车许可证的司机不受影响。
市府表示，提高活动停车费旨在减少外来车辆占用居民区街道，为居民和本地商户保留车位。与此同时，中东区约11%的路边车位也将调整用途：部分改为收费车位，部分预留给残障司机和持有工作许可证的员工，访客在许可证车位最长可停2小时；该区现有计时停车费一般为每小时2.20美元，周一至周六上午8时至晚7时收取。市府称，相关调整计划于11月和12月陆续实施，具体以市议会表决结果和交通局最终公布为准。
Portland Proposes Raising Event Parking Near Moda Center to $8 an Hour; City Council Votes Oct. 29
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon — Portland's transportation bureau has proposed raising event parking rates on some streets around the Moda Center from $5.40 to $8 an hour during major events, and the city council is expected to vote on the plan on Thursday, Oct. 29, The Portland Focal reported on Oct. 27.
The proposal covers parts of the Eliot neighborhood north of the Moda Center: when an event is expected to draw at least 10,000 people, event rates would apply in the affected blocks, making three hours of parking cost $24 instead of the current $16.20. Drivers with Zone V parking permits would not be affected. The city says higher event rates are intended to reduce outside vehicles taking up residential streets and to preserve spaces for residents and local businesses.
Separately, about 11 percent of curb spaces in the Central Eastside would be repurposed: some would become metered spaces, others reserved for disabled drivers and employees with work permits, and visitors in permit spaces could stay for up to two hours. Metered parking in that district generally costs $2.20 an hour and is enforced Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The city says the changes would roll out in November and December, subject to the council vote and the transportation bureau's final announcement.
