Plymouth looks to expand parking options in downtown

Plymouth officials are looking to head off a potential parking shortage by creating more spaces. Now if only we can get the titans of finance to follow the same sort of logic.

"In the next few years we will reach the limit for public parking so we will have to provide more spaces," says John Buzuvis, the assistant director of operations for the Plymouth Downtown Development Authority.

The DDA wants expand the East Central surface parking lot, which is bordered by Main, Union and Church streets. To do that it hopes to buy five adjacent properties and raze the old single family homes turned businesses to create more parking.

Doing so would create another 60-65 parking spaces. The East Central lot already has 204 parking spaces.

Representatives from the DDA plan to approach the property owners in the next few weeks to see if that's feasible. The DDA plans to revisit the issue again before the end of the year.
