Consultant Recommends Meriden Build New Parking Garage Downtown

An engineering firm has recommended that the City of Meriden build a new parking garage downtown to help solve parking woes in the area.

The $20,000 consulting fee was paid through a state grant, according to the Record-Journal.

Among other suggestions were moving non-essential police vehicles from the Hanover Street parking lot. The large presence of vehicles and lack of signs make it appear as if the lot isn’t a free municipal parking space.

The firm also recommended raising more parking revenue.
