Pearl Street Parking Garage Changes
There's some big changes happening at the Pearl Street Garage in Framingham. Regular monthly pass users can no longer purchase their monthly ticket at the entrance of the garage. In addition, the garage is now closed for daily parking and overnight parking.
This is part of a long term plan to modernize the garage. The Framingham Facilities Management team hopes to implement some type of automatic gate in the garage within the next couple of months. While this is going on, Monthly pass holders will now have to get their pass at the Facilities Management from the town hall.
While this is very inconvenient, keep in mind that the Pearl Street garage is still the best deal in town, at least for Framingham residences. There's two ways to get a pass, visit room 133 at the Framingham Town hall between 8:30 - 5. You can also send a check to Facilities Management, before the end of the month, to get next month's pass. You can contact Facilities Management at 508-532-5485.
Red Sox fans will want to take note that there's no daily parking at the garage. The Framingham MBTA stop may not be an option as the MBTA parking lot is full from daily commuters. I'll blog later about some ideas on where to park for Red Sox games.
Note: The parking lot will be monitored by Framingham Police and they will be enforcing the parking rules. Just because there isn't someone at the garage doesn't mean that you get a free parking spot. Not only will your car get a ticket, but it may get towed too!
