Oaklandside: Some garage parking in downtown Oakland is now $5 after 5 p.m.
Last month, Mayor Sheng Thao’s administration launched Five After Five, a pilot program that allows visitors and workers to park for a flat rate of $5 after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends at the Franklin Plaza Parking Garage in downtown Oakland.
First announced during the mayor’s State of the City address on Oct. 17, Five After Five is part of a broader initiative to increase foot traffic, improve public safety, and attract more visitors to bars, restaurants, and businesses in Uptown and downtown Oakland.
