CAPSLO announced yesterday prior to its meeting that it has withdrawn its application for use of Palm street as a safe parking location.
The safe parking program in San Luis Obispo provides a safe place for unhoused residents to park overnight, and has been located at Railroad Square. In recent months the city has decided to close the permanent location and establish a monthly rotating safe parking program.
City staff said in a release that it was made aware of a recent case law that “casts doubt” on the city’s ability to temporarily close Palm street for establishing a safe parking location.
The planning commission still met last night for its meeting, and members of the public were allowed to provide comments, but no action was taken.
