Improvements Expand Accessibility and Convenience
In a move that underscores the Town of Windsor’s ongoing commitment to thoughtful urban planning, smart growth, and community engagement, the Town Board has recently adopted the Downtown Parking Management Plan, making it easier than ever for residents, business owners, and visitors to enjoy all that downtown Windsor has to offer.
The improvements go far beyond
simply increasing the number of spaces. Guided by the comprehensive Downtown Parking Study, the town has carefully analyzed current and future parking needs to create long-term solutions that support a vibrant and growing downtown. Through targeted paving and construction projects, previously underutilized or informal spaces have been transformed into well-marked, accessible parking lots that better serve the community.
In addition to added capacity, roadway enhancements throughout the downtown core are improving traffic circulation, pedestrian safety, and overall walkability. New crosswalks and updated signage help
create a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone, whether traveling on foot, bike or by car.
To further maximize available parking, the town has partnered with businesses through innovative shared use agreements. These partnerships open private parking lots for public use during non-business hours, significantly expanding parking availability during evenings, weekends, and busy event seasons, such as the Summer Concert Series, Farmers Market and Harvest Festival.
Expanded street parking also enables more convenient access to storefronts, restaurants, and businesses, making it easier for residents and visitors to support local commerce.
Whether residents are grabbing coffee, shopping at a favorite boutique, or attending one of Windsor’s many popular community events, a variety of convenient, accessible parking options are now available to make the downtown experience even more enjoyable.
