Due to COVID-19 and the State’s Stay at Home Order, Downtown Riverside ceased as of March 19, 2020. The revenues associated with Downtown Parking Operations (Garages, Lots, and On-Street Parking) have steadily declined since early 2020 due to limited activity.
The Downtown Parking Operations declined by 27% from fiscal year 2018-19 compared to fiscal year 2019-20. The fund is forecasted to continue declining to an overall 45% reduction compared to pre-pandemic levels for a total loss of $1.35 million over this two-year period.
Due to the Stay-at-Home order and the need to accommodate increased on-street parking demand, the Public Works Department temporarily halted street sweeping operations which reduced parking violations and contributed to the overall revenue loss. 2,800,000.00$ 2,800,000.00$ -$ -$ -$ -$ 2-04
