Manatee County to offer new parking meter options at downtown parking garage
MANATEE COUNTY, FL (Dec. 31, 2019) – Drivers who use the County's downtown parking garage at 414 10th Street West will see new parking kiosk meters up until the fourth floor employee parking entrance gate that will allow drivers to use coins or credit cards and soon a mobile app for payment.
Along with the new parking meters comes a new pricing structure: $1 for two-hour parking, or $4 for all-day parking. (Drivers who plan to park for longer periods of time are encouraged to park above the first floor but below the employee parking entrance gate as the rates are reduced).
Parking meters will remain operational Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A prepay option will allow drivers to submit payment any time after 7:30 a.m. for the meter to begin running at 8 a.m. Drivers will be able to pay via a mobile app (Park Mobile) in February.
Monthly parking permits are available for $40 per month.
The new meters and rates go into effect Monday, Jan. 13. Signs will be posted inside the garage displaying the new rates in the days leading up to that date.
