Engineering Department - Parking System

Program Description

The Clearwater Parking System is responsible for the administration, operation, maintenance, and revenue collection for the 4,000+/- City-owned parking spaces located both on-street and in off-street facilities including the Garden Avenue Parking Garage; the Municipal Services Complex Employee Parking Garage; three attended parking lots on south beach; and many other locations throughout downtown and the beach. Services such as the Resident, Downtown, and Beach Employee Permit Parking Programs; the downtown Merchant Validation program; and the Park & Go Pre-Paid Parking Card program are offered to enhance customer satisfaction.

The Parking System provides many important results: promotes parking turnover in commercial districts, assists with relieving traffic congestion through efficient and well designed ingress/egress points, meeting or exceeding all current Americans with Disabilities Act parking requirements as well as maintaining itself as a self-supporting entity.

The Parking System also provides financial resources to support the beach cleaning operations, parking lot maintenance/lighting and other services.
