COVINGTON, Ky. – The Covington Motor Vehicle Parking Authority is continuing its public outreach and phased approach to improve parking in the historic Mainstrasse Village commercial district.
An Open House will take place on Thursday, July 17, where residents, business owners, and visitors can weigh in on a range of proposed changes and discuss problems and opportunities designed to make parking more accessible, efficient, and better aligned with the neighborhood’s needs.
“After talking with residents and business leaders, as well as conducting parking studies in-house, using ABM staff who are also residents, I think it is clear that parking in the Village could be improved. We don't have a set plan; we will be making a modest change, then reassess. Then consider the next change, working to improve the parking situation,” Covington Motor Vehicle Parking Authority Executive Director Kyle Snyder said.
The parking strategy includes:
-
New Parking Meters: Fifteen meters will be installed on Main Street, between 5th and 6th streets, and around the corner on 6th Street. This is the first step in a broader plan to improve turnover in the commercial core.
Mainstrasse Village Parking Open House:
Date: Thursday, July 17
Time: 6 – 8 p.m.
Location: The Center for Great Neighborhoods, 321 W. 12th Street
Format: The open house will include informational presentations (at the top of each hour), as well as opportunities for discussion.
