Parking
The city has paid for a parking lot during the 100 Block construction, so it's completely free to park in at any time. The parking lot is located on West Jackson Avenue at the bottom of the cobblestone ramp near Gay Street, close to the railroad tracks. There is also back-in angled parking on the Gay Street bridge between Depot Street and Jackson Avenue that crosses over the train depot. Parking on the bridge is very inexpensive (and is free after 6:00 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends). Parking is available at meters on Depot Street and in Regas Restaurant's parking lot.
