Town: Downtown parking study
To help improve access for residents, support local businesses, and keep downtown Los Gatos welcoming for everyone, the Town is studying how downtown parking is used using mobile LPR vehicles and drone surveys from September 15 – October 15. Your privacy is protected — license plate data is anonymized and deleted, and drone images are only used to count cars, not people. For more information, please contact the Parks and Public Works Department at PPW@LosGatosCA.gov.
