SANTA MONICA—On Wednesday, October 1, the city of Santa Monica announced on its website that the Department of Transportation announced Parking Structure 5, located at 1440 4th St., will close for approximately three to four weeks starting October 1 at 4 p.m. for urgent repairs.
To ensure public safety and following advice from a commissioned Condition Assessment Report for Parking Structure 5, or PS5, the city determined that the entire structure must close to vehicles while emergency repairs are completed.
Signage will be installed to notify the public of the pending closure, and staff will reprogram parking cards for access to alternate structures.
Monthly parking customers at PS5 – including Pali High students and staff – will be able to use their parking cards in Parking Structure 6, at 1433 2nd St., and Parking Structure 4, at 1321 2nd St., and until PS5 reopens.
The GoSaMo Center, which is housed in PS5 and provides public counter services for Big Blue Bus and parking customer transactions, as well as administrative offices for the city’s parking operations contractor, are not impacted and will remain open to the public during the temporary closure.
Members of the public or monthly parking customers who have questions about their parking options can contact parking@santamonica.gov.
