Gettysburg officials and business leaders clash over downtown parking
Gettysburg Borough officials and local business leaders dispute the towns parking problem and the solutions. The Comprehensive Plan favors more off street lots while some residents say current parking suffices but is poorly located. Borough manager Sterner notes ample spaces behind the borough office York Street and the bank lot while the Trinity street lot is new and less known. Planning chair Larson urges rear lot parking behind Lincoln Square with widened alleys to enable two way traffic and better storefronts. Retail leader Scott says most shoppers lack awareness of existing lots and suggests maps in local papers and at Lincoln Square.
