Manhattan Beach Offers A Few More Hours of Downtown Parking

Aug 26, 2024 11:12PM ● By Mb News Staff
As Manhattan Beach's downtown parking woes continue, the city has rolled out a few more hours of available parking.

As of Friday, August 30, the city will be opening its lower Civic Center lot starting at 1:00 p.m. (instead of 5:00 p.m.).

The Civic Center Lower Lot has 96 meters with a rate of $2.00 per hour and a 2-hour limit (except by permit). The entrance for the Civic Center Lower Lot is on 13th Street at Morningside Drive, or down the ramp in the Upper Lot in the Civic Center complex.

The lot's closing time will remain the same, 9:00 p.m., every day of the week.

Ever since the closure of Lot 3 due to seismic damage, the downtown Manhattan Beach parking situation has dropped from bad to worse.

The city has compensated with a few options, including a summer parking shuttle that runs from Manhattan Village to downtown. That shuttle will run through September 3.
