What You Need to Know:
Getting Around Downtown This Summer
This week's program will head off unwanted parking tickets, because as they say, Knowledge is Power!
Both parking and transit in Estes Park will look a little different in Summer 2021. Plans to implement seasonal paid parking were put on hold in 2020 due to COVID, as was the vision for expanded transportation offerings around Town and down the hill. However, even with the pandemic, parking areas downtown were as full, or in some cases, more full in 2020 than in previous years. This presentation will cover the Town's plans for resuming implementation of seasonal paid parking in 2021, new parking permit options for business owners, employees and locals, and proposed transit service offerings.
Our speakers will be Vanessa Solesbee and Matt Eisenberg, Town of Estes Park employees.
