The Turlock City Council held a joint meeting Tuesday with the Turlock Planning Commission to go over some of the details of a proposed new Downtown Turlock parking plan. With Turlock’s population having risen five fold since the 1970s, the city’s steady growth has brought numerous challenges relating to traffic flow, congestion and safety for transportation and parking, especially in the downtown area. The joint meeting was held to inform city leaders of the current parking supply, demand and use of said parking facilities, alternatives to the existing infrastructure, as well as plans for future expansion and solutions to current issues with Turlock’s parking program.
