Midtown Parking Deck Opens In Montclair – With Free Parking

MONTCLAIR, NJ — After several delays, Montclair’s new Midtown Parking Deck is set for a soft opening on Thursday, Nov. 10.

According to township officials, the township Parking Utility will offer patrons free parking from Thursday’s opening through 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 14, after which parking rates will apply. The deck is located at Glenridge Avenue and North Willow Street.

“We experienced a number of issues such as delays with parts deliveries, rainwater in the lobby, and a first-floor ADA-accessible route,” Township Deputy Manager Brian Scantlebury said.

“We are pleased that all of these issues have been fixed and the township building department granted us a certificate of occupancy,” Scantlebury added.

The deputy manager said he worked closely with Parking Utility Supervisor Manny Germano and the building department to ensure the deck will be ready for business on Nov. 10.

Montclair town officials said the new Midtown Deck has more than 300 parking spaces, including 10 handicapped spots; 75 spots will go to local businesses for their employees. Parking company Impark will manage the new deck.
