The City of Springfield will begin removing parking meters from the downtown area as part of an ongoing effort to beautify downtown and create a more welcoming experience for residents and visitors alike.
Parking downtown is free and will continue to be free. Parking signs will continue to designate the amount of time motorists have in a parking space. Parking enforcement officers will continue to patrol the downtown area and enforce the timed parking zones. Motorists are encouraged to look for signage stating the time allowed in each parking zone.
Downtown Springfield, like many downtown areas across the nation, continues to evolve, and the City hopes these improvements encourage more people to come downtown to shop, dine, conduct business, and enjoy the many cultural and entertainment opportunities available throughout the area. Timed parking zones remain necessary to maintain movement throughout the downtown area.
This effort is part of the City’s ongoing work to continue progress on the Downtown and Medical District Master Plan in collaboration with the Downtown Alliance.
The City will continue to provide updates throughout the parking meter removal process.
