(APSU)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The lots \u2013 28, 29 and 30 \u2013 had been reserved for Austin Peay State University students and employees, but the University has opened them for public paid parking seven days a week.<\/p>\n<p>Fees are $2.00 per hour or $5.00 per day plus a $.35 transaction fee, all payable through mobile devices. Daily parking expires at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have received several requests from community members to park near the downtown area,\u201d Rasheda Smith, director of APSU\u2019s Parking and Transportation, said. \u201cThese lots are underutilized by our permit holders. Our Parking Committee recommended opening certain parking lots for community parking to meet public demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>APSU employees and students who have registered vehicles for campus parking can still use the lots without paying the fees. Austin Peay\u2019s Office of Public Safety will monitor the lots 24 hours per day, seven days a week using the University\u2019s zero-emission vehicle equipped with license plate recognition scanners.<\/p>\n<p>Austin Peay State University purchased this property in 2011 from the Jenkins family to meet the goals of the campus masterplan and the University\u2019s Strategic Plan. Buying the property helped Austin Peay State University connect to the heart of Downtown Clarksville.<\/p>\n<p>These parking lots provide the campus community and visitors with additional access to dining, entertainment and other downtown amenities, by meeting a growing demand for downtown parking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For maps and additional information on university parking, visit the Austin Peay State University\u2019s parking page at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apsu.edu\/parking\" >www.apsu.edu\/parking<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clarksville, TN &#8211; In an effort to meet public demand for Downtown Clarksville parking, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) Parking Office has opened parking lots at Fourth and Main streets for public use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[23,262,512,825,1266,10073,2310,23229],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4xGYI-7Ax","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29173"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29174,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29173\/revisions\/29174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.discoverclarksville.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
