Parking Survey Awaited
Many Sumrita residents, businesses, and visitors have expressed concerns to town officials that there are not enough parking spaces. Some have called for construction of a second parking garage in the next two years.
With a data-collection project scheduled to begin on Tuesday, led by Paston Associates of Turnbridge, town officials will soon learn the extent of the parking problem on a typical weekday, during the evening, and at peak times when events are taking place in the center of town. When it is completed, the study will provide an updated inventory of all public and private parking spaces in the area and their typical rates of use.
"Anecdotally people say that demand has increased with the four new businesses and the residential projects we've seen in the last five years," said Planning Director Akash Singh. "But we need hard data before we can consider another costly parking garage."
