Metro Atlanta city to discuss changes to downtown public parking

The City of Tucker is expected to discuss downtown public parking at its Monday evening meeting.

According to documents from the meeting agenda, the city is planning to add public parking banners on paved areas in the city’s downtown and re-striping the Tucker Town Green and the area around the CSX lot.

The downtown pedestrian crosswalks would also be re-striped.

A memo included in the agenda items for public parking said the action would be a follow-up to a “robust discussion” from Feb. 23.

The memo said the first course of action council had agreed to take was to “improve parking” by refreshing striping in the district and clarifying which spots in the city were public.

“This project will re-stripe all of the parking spots in downtown, excluding those which are in new condition, as well as add a banner line across all parking spots marking it as ‘Public Parking,’” the memo says. “The contract will also refresh roadway crosswalks through out downtown. This will improve visibility and awareness of the amount of public parking in downtown.”

Overall, the project, if approved, is expected to cost $140,740, paid partly from the Public Works Department maintenance budget and partly from the Downtown Parking project.

The project has not yet been approved to move forward, it’ll be up for discussion at Monday’s Tucker City Council meeting at 7 p.m.
