In 2017, the City of Carlsbad finished a parking study and plan (parking management plan) for the Village, Barrio and nearby beach area to:

• Make parking more convenient for community members, employees and visitors
• Promote more efficient use of existing parking
• Support future parking needs and mobility options
• Explore options to make the project area more inviting for walkers, bicyclists and people who use public transportation
• Support the vision outlined in the Village and Barrio Master Plan

Since 2018 the city has completed additional parking surveys of the Village, Barrio and Beach areas to compare to data collected of those same areas for the 2017 Parking Management Plan.
