Frederick, MD – The City of Frederick Parking Department is pleased to announce the Church Street Parking Deck will reopen completely too all daily and monthly traffic at 4:00PM on Friday October 19th. Monthly parkers who work downtown and are assigned to other garages will return to the garage on Monday morning, October 22nd. There will be some peripheral work still occurring during the next few weeks, but this will not affect parking in the garage in any way.
The Church Street Deck now offers 393 parking spaces with six handicap spaces available on the 1st level.
The Church Street Garage Rehabilitation project will extend the lifespan of the existing garage for an additional seven to ten years. In an effort to minimize the impact the closure of a parking garage has on the community, the past three month closure will allow the parking to remain open uninterrupted for years.
Mayor Randy McClement said, “We appreciate the patience of our merchants, residents and visitors during this renovation period. Everyone was understanding and worked together to minimize the inconvenience. The result is a safe and convenient facility that will last for years. We thank you for working through this with us.”
Also available for parking are four City parking garages located at:
• Court Street Parking Deck– 2 South Court Street
• Carroll Creek Parking Deck– 44 East Patrick Street
• West Patrick Parking Deck– 138 West Patrick Street
• East All Saints Parking Deck– 125 East All Saints Street
• Attached please find a map highlighting ADA parking availability in each parking deck and the locations of City structured parking facilities.
In addition to the parking decks, there is on-street hourly parking available and two surface parking lots located on the 300 block of North Market Street next to Old Town Tavern and in front of the former Carmack Jay Building.
The City of Frederick Parking Department thanks citizens, businesses, and visitors for your continued cooperation and patience during the renovations of the Church Street Parking Deck
