San Francisco Motorcycle Parking
Spaces known to be unmetered are indicated by [U]. Spaces known to be low-capacity are indicated by [L]. Not all entries are verified. That's where you come in. To contribute additions or corrections to any of the neighborhood lists, please click the link shown at the end of that list. For general comments, click here.
This page is not affiliated with the one at purplemoments.com, whose owner appears to have copied most of the data from this page verbatim. Granted, this information does not belong to me and you may find his site more helpful.
Garages are listed at the bottom of the page, including a link to a list of all city-owned garages and current rates, forwarded by a motivated reader.
Interesting info on the new meters being installed all over SF is here.

Another Resource: The SFMTA has a map of motorcycle parking spaces online (revised October 2008). Many have said it's still not perfect nor as legible as we'd all like, but it shows the number of spaces in each group. The site you're reading is compiled entirely from your input, so it's certain that the DPT map shows spaces that aren't listed here. If interested, click here to have a look. (I still plan to keep this page posted. For one thing, the DPT map implies SF has no MC spaces west of 33rd Avenue or south of 28th Street, and we know that's not true.) |
