On September 1, 2026, Julie Dixon presented the Downtown Parking Management Implementation Plan to the San Juan Capistrano City Council, outlining a comprehensive set of near-term strategies to improve parking management in the downtown area, including parking enforcement staffing, technology upgrades, and curb management improvements.

A key theme throughout the presentation was the importance of data-driven decisions and incremental changes — building a strong foundation first and allowing the program to adapt over time based on real-world outcomes. Council directed City staff to move forward with evaluating and preparing for implementation of the near-term strategies, with formal adoption expected to return to Council in the coming months.

DIXON looks forward to continuing to support the City in building an adaptive, sustainable parking program that meets the evolving needs of the downtown community.
