Initiative designed to ‘alleviate on-street parking congestion’ and allow space for vehicles involved in hurricane recovery efforts
For the month of October, in an effort to “alleviate on-street parking congestion and to allow space to accommodate emergency and solid waste/storm debris vehicles” that will need to navigate neighborhood streets during the recovery from Hurricane Helene, parking permits for the St. Armands garage will be offered for purchase to residents of St. Armands, Lido and Bird keys, the City of Sarasota has announced.
Any St. Armands, Lido or Bird Key resident may purchase a permit for $100 for the month of October, “with required proof of residency,” a news release says. “Proof of residency can include a lease agreement, driver’s license, utility bill or vehicle registration,” the release points out.
Parking will be limited to the third and fourth floors in the St. Armands Garage, which stands at 57 N. Adams Drive on St. Armands Circle, the release adds.
Parking permit applications must be submitted in-person to the Parking Division, which is located at 1575 Second St., the release points out. The application may be downloaded here.
“The temporary program will be reviewed at the end of October,” the release says.
Questions about St. Armands Garage parking permits for St. Armands, Lido and Bird keys residents should be directed to the Parking Division by phone at 941-263-6475 or email at ParkingInfo@sarasotafl.gov, the release adds.
