Two Midtown Parking Lots are Free for Up to Four Hours

KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble is pleased to announce that two Midtown parking lots, the Cornell Street parking lot and the lot adjacent to the former Sea Deli at 658 Broadway, will offer free 4-hour parking. Street parking along the section of Broadway in Midtown from St James Street to Prince Street/Pine Grove will remain free for two hours, as previously announced with the completion of the Broadway Streetscape Project.

“Now that the construction is finished on the Midtown parking lots, it was important that these lots better align with the rules and regulations of the newly completed Broadway Streetscape, which included removing parking meters in the project area. Going forward, street parking on Broadway in Midtown from St James Street to Prince Street will be free for two hours, while the Cornell Street and Sea Deli parking lots will be free for up to four hours. I hope this helps make your shopping and dining at our Midtown establishments easier and more convenient,” said Mayor Noble.

Those that plan to park for more than four hours or overnight should retain a parking permit. Anyone who has purchased a 2023 parking permit intending to use it at the Cornell Street parking lot and does not need to park more than 4 hours in that lot, may submit a refund request. Written refund requests must be received by the Parking Violations office in City Hall no later than February 28, 2023, to qualify for reimbursement.

Please contact the Parking Violations office at 845-334-3933 or by e-mail at [email protected] for more information and required documentation.

The recent Midtown Parking Lots Improvements Project renovated three Midtown parking lots with green infrastructure and new paving. The Prince Street parking lot (by Monkey Joe) will remain metered.
