(July 28, 2025) The Central Eastside Parking District is the first of Portland’s pay-to-park on-street parking districts to expand pay-to-park hours for on-street parking to 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday thru Saturday, starting on Aug. 1.
The expansion of hours comes after the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s (PBOT) annual data collection, which showed a rising demand for space across the city as events, shopping, and dining continue to grow and expand across Portland.
Extending on-street pay-to-park hours will provide more turnover and customer parking for local businesses, particularly restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues that are open late into the evening.
From August through December of this year, parking signage and pay-to-park hours will be expanded on a district-by-district basis. Each parking district will receive notification prior to the time change. The downtown parking district will be the next to expand hours, starting Sept. 2, 2025.
