Meters, an expanded two-hour parking zone, valets and shared parking lots are among the recommendations of a recent parking study of the downtown area.
John M. Burke, a parking and transportation consultant in New England, presented the recommendations from the draft Downtown Mystic Parking Study at a virtual public meeting on Thursday, as the towns of Groton and Stonington look for solutions to the often congested area at a time when downtown Mystic is growing in popularity. The study focused on the five-minute walk zone, or about a quarter of a mile radius, around downtown Mystic, he said.
