Downtown, on 4th Avenue, and near the University of Arizona, Tucson parking meters could be collecting your money even later on weekdays and now on Saturdays.Right now, Tucson’s roughly 1,800 parking meters are enforced from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. The city wants to extend the hours to 8 p.m., while also adding paid parking on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.Parking time limits would not be enforced after 5 p.m. There is currently a two hour maximum from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“For years we’ve heard that there’s a lack of parking on the street, so we do feel like a change is needed,” said Janowitz.The hope is that change will increase street parking turnover, opening up more spots and bringing more people downtown.But community members like Brandon Griffith say that might backfire.“It’s like nice on the weekends to come down with the kids,” he said during his visit to downtown Thursday morning.
