Exeter says no to downtown paid parking: ‘Not ready for prime time’
EXETER — After hearing strong opposition from residents across three public hearings, the Select Board said the proposed downtown paid‑parking pilot program was “not ready for prime time.” The board said Nov. 9 it would shift its attention to enforcing the current ordinance and improving signage, and send the proposal back to town staff to address community concerns — particularly around downtown resident parking and the potential effects on local businesses and their employees. The one‑year paid‑parking pilot, recommended in a 2024 downtown traffic, parking and pedestrian study by consultant Stantec, would have applied to both on‑street spaces and municipal lots across town. The draft ordinance called for tiered rates for on‑street parking to encourage turnover in front of businesses, and a flat rate for off‑street parking. The first 15 minutes would be free in all parking zones, and drivers would pay by text, call or app. Enforcement would be handled by four part‑time employees.
