The Mayor’s Downtown Parking Taskforce

The goal of the Downtown Parking Taskforce is to: Activate the capacity of private lots for public use, Improve communication to the public, business owners and their employees about the lots that already exist AND work to change the culture of parking in Clayton, Ensure pedestrians have safe and convenient access to and from parking lots and around downtown AND explore other motorized or non-motorized ways to get around town, and enhance enforcement of existing pedestrian and parking laws AND consider new strategies in the future such as time limited parking for on-street and key public lots.

The following volunteers have been involved with the Mayor’s Downtown Parking Taskforce since Summer 2021. Thanks to their dedication and efforts, additional parking has been secured as a resource for our community and Downtown visitors.
