Alexandria City Manager Jim Parajon is asking City Council to approve paid parking on Sundays and an increase in parking meter rates.
The initiatives are included in Parajon’s proposed $977.3 million Fiscal Year 2027 budget and have gotten mixed reviews. If approved by City Council, the measure would make Alexandria the only locality in the region with parking meter enforcement on Sundays. Additionally, Parajon is proposing to increase parking violation fines from $40 to $50.
City Manager Jim Parajon is expected to deliver an update about snow response efforts in the City of Alexandria this evening (Tuesday).
Parajon is scheduled to provide the update during City Council’s legislative meeting, which will take place virtually at 7 p.m. The update will detail how the city prepared for snow, “what we have seen, where we need to amp up the response, and what you can expect over the next few days,” Mayor Alyia Gaskins said today on social media.
Alexandria City Manager Jim Parajon will take questions from residents during a virtual town hall meeting next week hosted by a local civic organization.
The Concerned Citizens Network of Alexandria is hosting the event on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 6-7 p.m. via Zoom. The forum is part of the organization’s community engagement series, which aims to keep residents informed about city issues.
