🚗 Community Parking Meetings Coming to Long Beach

Long Beach is bringing everyone together to fix parking problems in busy areas. The city just announced three community meetings where locals can share their thoughts about parking in business districts.

Many residents say finding a spot during busy times is tough. Local business owners worry that parking problems keep customers away. Some folks want better signs, while others think parking rules need stricter enforcement. The city plans to use everyone's input to make parking easier for both residents and visitors. These meetings show that Long Beach really wants to work with its community to make things better for everyone.
