HOPKINTON — Town Manager Norman Khumalo, Interim Department of Public Works Director Thomas Temple and Town Engineer Dave Daltorio are pleased to share that the Main Street public parking project has been completed and the new parking spaces are immediately available.
The necessary legal processes, which allowed the town to officially close on the property, were completed yesterday. The builder has also completed the final work to open the lots.
As of Thursday, June 22, 53 new parking spaces in the area behind 25 and 35 Main St. are now available for public parking.
“It is a pleasure to announce that the Main Street public parking project has come to a successful conclusion,” said Town Manager Khumalo. “It is our hope that with the addition of these public parking spaces, we can welcome more people to visit Hopkinton and support our local businesses.”
The new parking spaces are split between two lots, with the larger lot holding 29 parking spaces and the smaller lot holding 13 parking spaces. The larger parking lot will be available for public use 24/7 and the smaller parking lot will be available for public use between 6 p.m. and midnight.
There is a one-way entrance to the lot, which is located between the Muffin House Cafe and 35 Main St. The exit is adjacent to 25 Main St.
An additional five spaces are located along the entrance driveway and six spaces along the exit driveway. These spaces are also available for public use between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight.
Electric vehicle charging stations will also be installed in the lots in the near future.
Voters approved the acquisition during the 2019 Annual Town Meeting. The property was purchased from LFJ Development.
