Santa Monica fights meter feeding: Santa Monica is installing sensors that will prevent drivers from feeding meters beyond the time limit. But perhaps they would be better served by changing to performance parking? (Huffington Post, Neil) (Comment)
Performance parking at the beach: Santa Monica, California will try performance parking, reversing a previous policy of continuing to build parking structures and keeping the most desirable spaces closest to the beach the cheapest. That resulted in long lines of drivers circling around those garages. They'll now set prices closer to demand and eliminate two hours of free parking, which area employees were just exploiting by moving their cars throughout the day.

Backyard garden matchmaking: Santa Monica has a five-year waiting list for plots in community gardens, and in the past the wait has reached ten years. Meanwhile, many homeowners have backyards they'd love to turn into great vegetable gardens, but lack the time or expertise. The ingenious solution: match up gardeners and homeowners willing to let them tend a small plot on their property. (LA Times via Planetizen) (Comment)
