SALISBURY, Md. — Salisbury officials have announced a two-week shutdown of the downtown parking garage beginning June 1 and lasting through June 15 to accommodate essential structural repairs and facility upgrades.
The comprehensive renovation project will include multiple improvements:
- Professional contractors will conduct corbel repair work on the garage structure.
- Fresh paint will be applied to stairwells along with a new numbering system designed to help visitors navigate more easily.
- New payment signs will be mounted throughout all interior floors, ramps, and shared spaces.
- Crews will pressure wash every interior level, ramp, and common area.
- Automated cleaning equipment will sweep all driving lanes and parking spaces.
- Workers will clear out accumulated trash, debris, and blockages from every level and corner.
- Landscaping work will enhance entrance and exit areas plus surrounding grounds where needed.
- All doors and windows will receive inspection and repairs, including hardware, closing mechanisms, and weather protection.
- Outstanding standpipe system inspections, testing, and maintenance will be completed.
- Elevator safety inspections will be finished to meet compliance requirements.
- Damaged tiles and flooring in elevator cars and entrance areas will be replaced.
Officials recommend that both short-term and permit holders use Lot 1, 10, 12, or 15, as well as street parking options across downtown while the garage remains closed.
Directional signs will be installed to guide motorists toward available parking alternatives.
Mayor Taylor commented, “While closure of the parking garage is never convenient, as you can see, the City has timed a host of repairs for this closure in order to limit disruptions. We appreciate your patience as we strive to keep the garage properly maintained.”
To help residents and visitors cope with the garage closure, city officials will ease street parking enforcement, focusing only on serious infractions like parking in the wrong direction or double parking.
Officials express gratitude for public understanding and cooperation while these critical facility improvements are underway.
