Question: How Would You Improve Center Parking?

How would you improve Belmont Center parking?

Install parking meters?

Residential stickers?

Connect Leonard Street with the Claflin Street Municipal Lot via a passageway? 

Have the town buy Macy's and construct a five-story parking garage on the site?

Start over?

That's what the Town’s office wants to know as it begins a comprehensive parking study for Belmont Center.

Led by Chief Planner Jay Szklut, the town is asking residents to participate in two ways to begin the process of gathering information that will generate a blueprint of improving access for residents and visitors to Belmont's retail and restaurant district.

The first is an online survey on the current parking situation in Belmont Center and suggestions.

The second is for residents to attend an Open House on Belmont Center Parking at the Board of Selectmen’s Meeting Room in , 455 Concord Ave., this Wednesday, June 15.

The Open House will take place from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with presentations by the Planning Division at 4:15 p.m., 5:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. with opportunities for public input from attendees. 

"Please attend! Your opinion is important," says the Planning Division.
