The City of Columbia has announced that the parking garage will undergo extensive renovations starting on January 29th. The renovation period is expected to last for four months, during which the garage will be closed to the public.
To accommodate the temporary closure of the parking garage, the free parking lot located between the garage and the back of City Hall will be converted into a permit-only parking zone. This area will be monitored by the city’s parking enforcement officers from Monday to Friday, between 7:30 AM and 4 PM. The permit-only parking will be reserved for individuals who lease spots in the downtown parking garage, as well as PD/city personnel. However, the lot will be available for public use after 4 PM on weekdays and throughout the entire day on weekends.
In an effort to mitigate the impact of the parking garage closure, the city has announced that the three-hour parking limit around downtown will not be enforced during the renovation period. This measure aims to alleviate the temporary change in the parking situation and provide additional flexibility for downtown visitors and workers.
The city encourages individuals to plan ahead and consider alternative parking options during the renovation period. The temporary changes in parking regulations are designed to ensure minimal disruption while the parking garage undergoes much-needed renovations.
