New Downtown Parking rules go into effect tomorrow!
Starting tomorrow, enforcement of the new downtown parking plan goes into effect. This means if you're planning a car trip to downtown Golden during the week, you need to be aware of the changes. Parking is still free, but now there's a 2-hour time limit. If you need to park for longer, there are parking garages and lots that offer extended parking for a fee if you need to stay past the 2-hour mark.
The best place to go for all the info you need on the new Downtown Parking Management plan is
our website! There you'll find maps and more information. There's also a little more information below if you scroll down.
Scrolling will also give you roundup of everything else happening this week in Golden. Have a great week, and fingers crossed Punxsutawney Phil gives us the green light this Thursday that spring isn't far away!
Your friends at the City of Golden

Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
Paving on the lid for the phase three shift is being completed.
The traffic switch to begin phase three is scheduled for Monday night Feb 6. Beginning at 8 p.m. There will be periods where traffic and street lighting is out as the contractor makes the switch. The area through-motion on US 6 will be slowed below the current speeds while the lights are changed over. See the new traffic pattern below.
Pre-cast panels are being placed on the walls under the bridge.
Excavation will begin on the remaining US 6 mainline on the south side of the lid.
There is a construction viewing area in the northwest corner that can be accessed from Parfet Estates Drive, and will be an excellent location to view the girder placement. Please park legally.

Coming soon to a parking area near you!
You've heard about the upcoming downtown parking changes, and now they're here. As of February 1, 2017 the parking kiosks in the downtown garages and parking lots off of 12th Street will be active and enforced.
As a reminder, these long-term parking areas are free for the first two hours, just like the rest of the parking downtown, but unlike the other areas, allow visitors to stay beyond that two-hour limit for an additional $2 per hour. It's also worth noting that this is only on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Weekends and holidays, parking is free.
If you plan on parking downtown as of February 1, we encourage you to visit our
Parking page online to familiarize yourself with the maps and rules.
