FLINT, Mich. – The City of Flint recently announced a new initiative aimed at enhancing customer convenience and ensuring residents can conduct essential business at City Hall without the immediate pressure of metered parking. Effective as of October 23, a 30-minute grace period is being offered for parking spots directly in front of City Hall.
“Our goal is simple: eliminate barriers for our residents,” said Mayor Sheldon Neeley. “When you come to City Hall to take care of business, your focus should be on your task, not watching the parking meter tick down. This 30-minute grace period provides the relief and respect every customer deserves for quick, essential trips, ensuring their experience is efficient and stress-free.”
City Council Vice President Candice Mushatt and 3rd Ward Councilwoman LaShawn Johnson have championed this move as part of a broader commitment to customer-focused government operations, according to the City of Flint.
