Central Avenue and White Street corridor parking study
Summary
The multimodal redesign will cut over half the on-street parking on Central and White, but consultants found parking there is heavily underutilized and side streets and off-street lots can absorb the demand. Council members debated impacts on working-class businesses and ADA access; restriping is targeted for spring 2027 with the northern half first.

Impact analysis
The corridor redesign is a decade-long, phased project; no new parking construction is recommended yet.
Cyclists, pedestrians and future downtown development benefit; the analysis suggests current drivers can still find spots nearby.
Businesses and residents who rely on curbside parking directly in front of their destinations will face added friction, especially near hotspots like the courthouse.
