The Flint Downtown Development Authority works to enhance the experience of businesses, residents, and visitors to Flint’s city core. Our downtown will be safe, clean, diverse, and engaging.
In response to customer concerns, the current downtown parking system will be removed and replaced with one that is easier to use and more customer friendly. Parking spaces on Saginaw Street will be metered with a four-hour maximum stay, and spaces on side streets will be free parking with a two-hour maximum. Until the new system is installed all legal spaces downtown will be free parking. Please note that parking in handicap accessible spaces, alley loading zones, etc. will still result in getting a ticket. Also in response to your suggestions, the Rutherford Ramp entrance booth on Kearsley Street is now staffed Monday through Friday, 8am to 3:30pm, to improve ease of access.
