As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience for downtown Burlington, all new garage equipment will be installed in our three City-owned garages, starting in September, 2018. Our City-owned Garages include:
- Marketplace Garage (147 Cherry St.)
- Entrances on Cherry and Bank Streets
- Lakeview Garage (45 Cherry St.)
- Entrance on Cherry Street, next to Hotel Vermont
- College Street Garage (60 Cherry St.)
- Entrances on Battery and College Streets, behind the Hilton
Exciting Changes
Our new equipment will modernize and further automate our City Garages, while bringing a suite of exciting changes, including:
- Pay on Foot Stations – pay for your parking stay using card, coin, coupon or voucher, more on this below!
- Customer Portal – a web portal for customers to sign up and manage their monthly permits; in future, the portal will offer services like reservations, coupons and validations!
- Merchant Validation – downtown merchants and businesses will soon be able to offer discounted parking through their own portal or by contacting our parking team (ETA 1/1/19)
- Barcoded Tickets – all tickets and vouchers will now be barcoded, reducing maintenance & equipment malfunction and allowing for smartphone-enabled services
- Ambassadors – our Pay on Foot Stations will enable our staff to focus more time on service and maintenance; helping you navigate the new system and improving cleanliness
Please note: we highly recommend paying for parking at the Pay on Foot Stations (locations below) before returning to your vehicle, however, payment can be made in the exit lane via credit card or prepaid voucher only.
