Full Notification

Due to the increased demand for parking in downtown Sausalito during Phase II of the Public Health Order (PHO), the City of Sausalito will continue their gradual re-opening of the municipal parking lots this weekend in an effort to reduce congestion in the downtown corridor. Municipal Lots 1 and 2 will remain open all weekend. Lots 3 and 4 will remain closed and will open if the demand for parking dictates the need. This will be evaluated regularly throughout the weekend.

Similar to the last few weekends, those residents, downtown merchants, and their employees who are displaced by the closure of the parking lots should park in metered spaces on the street with their parking permits displayed on the rear bumper or their parking card displayed on the vehicle’s dashboard.

The Sausalito Police Department wants to remind people that “curbside pick-up” does not necessarily mean you can literally pull up to the curb of your favorite local business if the roadway doesn’t allow. Citations will be issued for those parked illegally in red zones, blocking crosswalks and all other hazardous violations. Green and Yellow zones are available for those wanting to make a quick pick-up but those spots will be monitored for time parked in the space.

Uniformed Ambassadors from Sausalito Bike Return (SBR) will continue to be stationed downtown in two different locations. Their mission is to remind and educate people of the Public Health Order requirements while in Sausalito

Please remember that the PHO in each county will vary. If you travel from one county to another you are required to operate under the PHO of the county that you are in.

The Sausalito Police Department will cite for non-essential travel, safe-distancing violations, and other violations of the PHO. Citations for violating the PHO carry a fine of $500.00.

Complying with public health orders can help keep everyone safe. We can all do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by sheltering at home as much as possible and wearing face coverings when we are out in public.
