Published on June 01, 2022
HARTFORD, CONN (June 1, 2022) – Today, the City of Hartford announced that, in partnership with LAZ Parking and Shelbourne Global Solutions, four downtown parking lots are offering discounted parking all summer long. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, participating lots will charge a $5 flat fee for parking on weekdays after 4 PM and all weekend long. The initiative will help residents from Hartford and across Connecticut come to downtown Hartford to participate in fun activities, shop local stores, and enjoy events throughout the summer.
Participating lots in downtown Hartford include the Temple Street Garage, 100 Pearl Street Garage, 1000 Main Street Parking Lot, and the Allyn Street Parking Lot.
“As we recover from the pandemic, there are a whole lot of events to look forward to this summer, from the Hartford Taste Festival to the Greater Hartford Jazz Festival and so much more,” said Mayor Luke Bronin. “With $5 parking, we’ll be able to drive more traffic to our amazing shops and restaurants and bring a big boost to our small businesses downtown. We are grateful for the partnership of LAZ Parking and Shelbourne as we work to build on our pre-pandemic momentum and bring back energy to Downtown.”
“We are working hard to make Downtown Hartford a vibrant place to visit, said LAZ Parking Chairman, CEO and Founder Alan Lazowski. “We want to encourage people to come Downtown in the evenings and on the weekends to experience all that Hartford has to offer.”
"With the resurgence of pedestrian traffic in the downtown, we want to do all we can to support and encourage people to come here to dine, shop, and have fun," said Michael Seidenfeld, Chief Operating Officer at Shelbourne.
"As we continue our work to help small businesses navigate through these unprecedented times, we must think creatively to attract customers back to the Capital City,” said Representative Julio Concepcion, Executive Director of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce. “Being able to offer discounted $5 parking to Downtown visitors this Summer is a terrific way to support small businesses and generate an economic boost for some of our hardest hit businesses. The Chamber would like to offer our sincerest gratitude to Shelbourne and LAZ Parking for this incredible initiative and their continued support of our great city."
The discounted parking does not include days with events at Dunkin’ Donuts Park and the XL Center.
