City Hall Parking Lot expansion will create parking problems

Parking will be limited during construction of a "green" parking lot and additional spaces for Lakeland City Hall and City Hall Park. All of the west portion of the parking lot will be eliminated during construction. The "green" parking lot is partially funded by a grant. The parking lot will absorb rainwater rather than then creating stormwater runoff.

Periods of high activity (soccer, baseball etc.) will be a special problem and residents are asked to plan ahead and, if possible, car pool or take other action to limit the number of vehicles. Parking will be allowed on grassy areas etc. during dry weather when it does not damage the grass or trees.

We will take all actions possible to insure adequate parking is available during construction of the new parking lots. We will appreciate any comments or suggestions on mitigating parking problems during the construction period.
