Parking

Downtown parking is FREE on evenings and weekends at the meters and at the garages! 

The garages charge $1 an hour to park between the hours of 2:00am and 8:00pm. The parking attendant is on duty at the garages until 8:00pm to collect any parking fees that may have accrued between these hours.

Municipal garages are located at the corner of Tioga and Seneca Streets (the Seneca Garage), on S. Cayuga Street, across from the Holiday Inn (the Cayuga Garage) and on Green St. (the Green Garage)  These parking areas are denoted with the P sign on the Downtown Map.
