On November 19, 2024 and November 26, 2024, the Burbank City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance and resolution to implement new parking management strategies for Downtown Burbank. These strategies aim to improve access for the millions of visitors to Downtown Burbank’s businesses by managing parking demand for some of the City’s most popular parking spaces.

The parking management strategies include establishing a new parking fee for the most convenient and popular on-street curb spaces that encourages parking turnover, provides all-day availability of spaces for short-term parking, and shifts long-term parking to parking garages in Downtown Burbank.

Starting in Spring 2025, drivers will pay to park at 145 on-street curb parking spaces along San Fernando Boulevard between Magnolia Boulevard and Angeleno Avenue, as well as the side streets on either side of San Fernando between First Street and Third Street. The hourly parking fee will be set to ensure that drivers always at least one or two parking spaces available on each block at any time, making it easier to find a parking spot. The parking fee will be set at $2.00 per hour, and will be charged between 8:00 AM and midnight, seven days a week.  All parking revenue will be reinvested back into Downtown Burbank to help maintain the public parking structures and lots.

The purpose of the Downtown Burbank Parking Management Strategies are to:

• Ensure customers can reliably find parking within walking distance of their destination.
• Increase access to businesses by ensuring turnover of parked cars.
• Reduce emissions and lessen traffic congestion from drivers circling in search of parking.
