The Alpharetta City Council is being asked to consider establishing time-limited parking in a portion of its new five-story downtown parking deck.
Cheri Morris of MidCity Real Estate Partners, the developer of the City Center project, made the request at Monday night’s meeting. MidCity will develop some 104,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space at the downtown site. Morris indicated that putting time-limited parking in the deck’s most accessible areas would make it more convenient—and more likely—for customers to patronize those planned businesses.
The idea is not without precedent. Since the first of the year, some of downtown’s on-street parking has carried time limits as well.
Council members plan to discuss the proposal again at some future date, tying it in with a discussion on parking management for all of downtown.
