City Council Workshop | March 26, 2026

The City of Savannah held a City Council Workshop on March 26, 2026, focusing primarily on urban parking management and multimodal transportation planning. The council received a detailed update on the "Parking Matters" study, which assessed parking demand and capacity in densely urbanized areas south of downtown, including recommendations for expanding metered parking, residential permit programs, and enforcement to better balance parking supply and demand. The discussion included considerations of capital investments for new parking meters and enforcement personnel, as well as the impact of development projects on parking availability. Council members emphasized the importance of protecting residents, supporting local businesses, and integrating parking strategies with broader mobility goals. Additionally, the workshop covered the "Savannah Moves" multimodal transportation plan, which aims to improve connectivity, safety, and equity across the city through coordinated infrastructure projects and community engagement. The plan is aligned with the city's strategic goals and includes phased implementation with future council actions anticipated. No formal votes were recorded during this workshop, but council members expressed support for advancing the parking management recommendations and continuing the transportation planning process.
