The St. Armands Garage at 47 North Adams Drive will open to the public Tuesday, February 12, with nearly 500 public parking spaces launching a paid parking program at St. Armands Circle to boost parking availability and reduce street congestion.  Almost 200 on-street parking spaces in the St. Armands Parking District will be free.

 The four-level garage includes 484 parking spaces, five electric vehicle charging stations including one DC fast charger, bicycle storage and repair station and public restrooms. Twenty-three surface lot spaces adjacent to the garage also were created. With a continued commitment to sustainability, the garage features efficient lighting systems, a tire inflation station and solar panels that will be installed on the rooftop and will help power the garage.

The $15 million facility is the result of a mutual partnership between the City of Sarasota and St. Armands commercial property owners who will help pay for the facility through a special assessment.  The paid parking program also will fund the project and operations. The parking rate in the St. Armands garage is $.50 per hour Monday through Saturday, excluding holidays recognized by the City of Sarasota.
