#parking-restrictions

The Berkeley Half Marathon is back again this weekend, and the city will be shutting down parking and travel lanes starting Saturday to accommodate the race course, which typically draws several thousand runners each year. Roads will stay open to vehicular traffic until at least 5 a.m. Sunday morning but the city will shut down four blocks around the finish line at Civic Center Park beginning Saturday morning.

No roadside parking is permitted in the Emerald Bay area of the Tahoe loop highway from July 15 to Oct. 15, affecting a 5-mile stretch between D.L. Bliss State Park and Cascade Lake.

I feel the council's policy is a money-making scheme rather than a genuine bid to crack down on illegal parking. The logic behind it does not make sense.
