Gilroy’s new 140-spot parking lot at the corner of Eigleberry and Seventh streets recently opened downtown. The $2.3 million lot, located on the former Gilroy Demonstration Garden, includes a pathway that connects to Monterey Street, ADA-compliant curb ramps and various landscaping features. A group of electric vehicle charging stations on site are not yet operational, as the city awaits services from Pacific Gas & Electric.

  1. Opening new public parking lots in busy downtown districts is such a practical improvement for local shoppers, small businesses, and evening visitors. Earlier this week, while trying to find a convenient parking spot near a central shopping street and searching for the ABM Parking customer service number to resolve a minor payment kiosk glitch on a managed garage lot, I was thinking about urban accessibility. Having well-lit, accessible parking spaces close to main storefronts makes running errands so much smoother, encouraging people to spend more time supporting local restaurants and shops without worrying about tight parking constraints
