The Norwalk Parking Authority has approved a plan to add 24 parking spaces to its Wall Street district. The move is part of an effort to improve parking conditions and to putatively alleviate the effect of metered parking, which begins in January, on businesses in the area.
The spaces will allow free parking for 15 minutes, with a single spot and two spots designed for several businesses, and three such spaces for Fullum”™s Windows and Hoyt-Cognetta Funeral Home.
The Parking Authority also approved a parking validation program, which gives local businesses the option of paying for customers”™ parking. Customers would be validated through the ParkMobile app or would pay by using special tokens the businesses purchase from the Parking Authority.
The initiatives are scheduled to begin on Feb. 1. Enforcement of metered parking will start on Jan. 6.
