Neighborhood Update, May/June 2010
As a result of the street parking issues that Columbia Square and Cambridge Court has been experiencing the past several years as well as in other areas of the city, the Irvine City Council approved Ordinance No. 09-07 on September 8, 2009 that establishes a policy that allows the Director of Public Works to create Preferential Parking Districts.
A Permit-Only street parking program is now in effect on the Oxford and Columbia streets. The fee for a permit is $35.00 for one resident permit and $10.00 for one guest permit, and are valid for 2 years. For more information or to purchase parking permits online, please visit http://www.irvinepd.org and click on "PARKING" to navigate to the parking permit website.
With this collaborative effort between Cambridge Court, Columbia Square, Broadmoor, and CampusView, non-resident traffic within our community as significantly decreased. As a result, our streets are now safer, quieter, and cleaner.
If you are interested in giving the Boardmembers your input, you are welcome to attend the Board meetings, which are held on the 4th Thursday of the month. Meeting agendas are publically posted in the courtyard area near the basketball court.
