In a move to foster a more bustling downtown while easing the strain on holiday shoppers' wallets, the City of Clarksville has announced it will scrap parking fees every Monday and Friday this December. According to the city's official statement, the gesture extends to all street parking in the central business district, though it's worth noting that parking structures are not part of the deal.
Free parking will be available all day on the specified days with the standard parking hours being enforced from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the remaining weekdays, and while the promotion is in effect, vehicles found in restricted spaces or parked unlawfully will still face ticketing, so revelers should enjoy the gift responsibly. The promotion does not excuse illegal parking practices; cars parked in restricted zones continue the risk of seeing that dreaded piece of paper tucked under their windshield wipers.
Those interested in details about the altered enforcement hours or seeking more information on downtown Clarksville’s parking specifics can head over to the Parking Commission’s page on the city's website.
