Reader says a Parking Garage may actually make the downtown more pedestrian friendly and safer
Parking Garage, in the downtown area on Franklin, with store fronts on Walnut and Franklin to create a facade that would hide the garage structure. Remove Parking from some some streets partially or entirely. This would force people to use the garage, and may actually make the downtown more pedestrian friendly and safer. A possible enticement is for restaurants and stores to provide partial parking vouchers when purchases are made in their establishment. I’ve heard this was done in California with good success.
We know we need it let’s get to a design that includes some retail rental producing portions and stop stalling please.
I liked it when stores gave you a token to put in the meters! Of course, a dime gave you longer than two seconds of parking then.
but who is going to maintain it.
cleaning
sweeping
salting
plowing
snow removing
pot holes
light bulb’s
landscaping
paper work
coins
reports
& other things
Anything your buddy the Mayor wants right Don aka Fresh Voice.
yea true.
Dom doesn’t care he won’t be around when the bills come due neither will the three amigos
Man you people are nasty. They should check out the parking garage next to Roots in Morristown. It’s clean, convenient and centrally located. Outstanding. #3 people pay to park. That’s what pays for it.
Thanks #7…… you’ve been checking things out.
You must have gotten photos from the old man. ………….. be careful … he has research this for years.
