Recommendation to request City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending Section 10.28.130 of the Long Beach Municipal Code to change the operating days and hours for parking meter zones 19 - 25 to Monday through Sunday, including holidays, during the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (District 2)

Currently, the days and hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., excluding holidays.

Zone I 9 Pine Avenue between Seaside Way and its southerly terminus

Zone 21 Aquarium Way between Shoreline Drive and Seaside Way.
Zone 22 Cedar Avenue between Shoreline Drive and Seaside Way
Zone 23 Bay Street between Cedar Avenue and Pine Avenue
Zone 24 The Paseo between Aquarium Way and Pine Avenue
Zone 25 Seaside Way between Linden Avenue and Golden Shore
