Downtown Parking Updates 8/31
The City is sharing new information on temporary arrangements for Downtown parking during the construction of the expanded Market Landing Park. First, our contractor has been able to push back their fencing which has freed up additional spaces in the Waterfront East Lot. These fences will need to be restored after September 10th, but the additional spaces will be available through then. The City is also expected to open additional parking available in a vacant lot at Titcomb and Pleasant Street, with more information to come shortly.
The Parking Advisory Committee held a meeting on August 28, 2023 to further discuss temporary parking arrangements, especially for those with employee permits. The Committee made the following adjustments to the temporary changes previously announced on August 11, 2023:
- Residential Street Parking for Employee Permit holders - This was DISCONTINUED as of August 28, 2023. Employee Permit holders are no longer able to park in residential spaces.
- Employees in Green Street Lot – The date for allowing employees into a section of the Green Street lot was changed from September 15th to November 1st. There will be a section of the lot near the Green Street entrance marked out for employees. This section will be available until April 1, 2024.
As a reminder, employee permits, subject to availability, remain valid in the following areas:
- Parking Garage (Titcomb Street entrance)
- Waterfront lots East and West with the exception of the Waterfront Trust lot
- Prince Place lot
- Hales Court lot
All day parking is available behind the Bartlet Mall on Pond, Greenleaf, and Auburn Streets.
Following the completion of the projects (approximately early summer 2024) a substantial portion of the fenced-in area will be returned to parking. We thank you for your continued cooperation and flexibility during Park construction.
