Currently, there are 22 regular spaces and 1 handicap parking space in the Atler Lot on Harlow Street, across from the Federal Building. The lot is currently timed for 30 minutes. Now that the Post Office has vacated the building, 30 minutes does not meet the demand for longer stays at the Federal offices remaining in the building. It is the Downtown Parking Advisory Committee's recommendation that these spaces be moved to a 2 hour limit. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the BED meeting on November 20, 2012.
