In Lot 5, there will be 60 hourly parking spaces. In Lot 7, paid parking will be available throughout the day on Saturday (payable through the Passport App).

The public hearing to consider a local law that would allow for an amendment to create a one year pilot program allowing residential parking in Lot #7 from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 was approved.
