ISSUE: HOLIDAY PARKING

Summary: Residents at Harbor Boulevard and Edinger Avenue may experience

parking problems during Santa Ana’s Cinco de Mayo Celebration and the

Fourth of July Spectacular at Centennial Park. Easter, Mother’s Day,

Memorial Day and Labor Day are also expected to draw large crowds and

cars to areas around Mile Square Park.

To help ease the parking situation, the council authorized the Fountain

residents adjacent to the Santa Ana River, Centennial Park and Mile

Square Park. The stickers, which will be good indefinitely, will only be

enforced on the holidays.
