Downtown Parking Study Offers Public Input Opportunity

Port Washington Main Street is working with a Boston-based company on the parking study, and a public hearing will be held next Tuesday as part of the process.

Parking in downtown Port Washington has popped up in several discussions in the past few months, considering ongoing developments and changes in the city's landscape.

Port Washington Main Street has proposed a redesign of the parking lot behind Duluth Trading (PDF attached), and the Common Council approved a study to be done by Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission of Port's parking needs this fall — at no cost to the city.

Next week, Nelson/Nygaard of Boston — a nationally recognized parking consultant, according to a Main Street flier — will be in the city to analyze Port's parking situation. The group will conduct a "series of focus groups, tours and individual visits within the downtown," Main Street Executive Director Sara Grover said.
