The Rehovot Municipality is enhancing parking services for residents with the regulation of the Hanuf Street parking lot, which will now accommodate approximately 100 vehicles. Starting Sunday, October 18, this lot will offer a daily parking rate, providing a new option for drivers needing extended parking. This initiative is part of a broader municipal strategy to increase parking availability and ease daily commutes, especially during extensive city-wide infrastructure and transportation upgrades. The municipality also announced earlier this week a proposal to adjust parking tariffs, offering reduced rates for Rehovot residents compared to non-residents. This proposal, which aims to prioritize residents and alleviate their parking costs, will be presented to the City Council for approval. Currently, Rehovot residents receive two hours of free parking in blue-and-white zones, a benefit that will remain. Beyond the initial two hours, the hourly rate is 5.42 shekels for both residents and non-residents. Under the proposed changes, resident hourly rates would decrease to 5 shekels, while non-resident rates would increase to 6.5 shekels. The daily rate would also see a reduction for residents from 23.24 shekels to 20 shekels, while increasing to 26 shekels for non-residents. Mayor stated, "We continue to expand parking options in the city and promote solutions that will ease the burden on residents. The regulation of the Hanuf parking lot and the availability of a daily rate will provide a more convenient and flexible solution for drivers needing long-term parking. This move complements the proposal to reduce parking rates for Rehovot residents, as part of a clear policy that prioritizes city residents and works to ease their daily lives."
