\"CityClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Downtown merchants and property owners gathered Wednesday to hear City of Clarksville officials and consultants from Premier Parking outline potential changes to on-street metered parking in Downtown Clarksville.<\/p>\n

City officials said the changes would create a more consumer friendly approach to downtown parking and overcome some of the current system\u2019s equipment and enforcement challenges.<\/p>\n

\"Clarksville<\/a>

Clarksville to increase Downtown Parking Rates by 50 cents an hour on April 1st, 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The plan discussed includes:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Deactivating all parking sensors, and making downtown parking a \u201cpay to play\u201d environment.<\/li>\n
  • A 25-cent payment will be required at all meters to start a downtown parking session.<\/li>\n
  • The first 25 cents provides 15 minutes of parking time and one hour of courtesy time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The proposal calls for two types of payment structures at street meters:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • One-hour of courtesy time with parking sessions limited to 3 hours on Strawberry Alley, Franklin Street and Third Street.<\/li>\n
    • One-hour of courtesy time with parking sessions limited to 8 hours on First and Second streets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In discussion, some property owners said the meters on First and Second streets between Main and Commerce streets should be limited to 3 hours, and not expanded to 8 hour maximums.<\/p>\n

      Another commenter noted that the start of work on Montgomery County\u2019s Multipurpose Events Center will complicate downtown parking and that plans should be made to accommodate inevitable construction-related parking.<\/p>\n

      The Parking Commission will meet next at 3:00pm July 30th, 2020. Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said he expects to have another Parking Roundtable with the downtown business community before a new plan is implemented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
