Manhattan Beach Approves Parking Overhaul, New 15-Minute Rule

The Manhattan Beach City Council has unanimously approved a plan to replace over 1,200 aging parking meters with 110 centralized pay stations. The new system will allow payments via a smartphone app or at kiosks and introduces a 15-minute cooling-off period to prevent consecutive parking sessions in the same zone. While the system is changing, parking rates will remain the same, and some public lots will see extended stay limits.
