The City of Youngstown has opened up the Commerce Street parking lot for free parking 24 hours a day.

As of 2:00 p.m. Thursday, the lot is open with 110 spots for downtown Youngstown visitors to park for free.

Spots are available 24 hours a day with a four-hour time limit. The lot was recently re-landscaped with new lighting installed in preparation for the opening. Overnight parking is not permitted in this lot.

The lot will be accessible by coming east on Commerce Street from Fifth Avenue since Wick Avenue is still closed for construction.

Folks visiting downtown to support local businesses or attend any events are welcome to use the lot.

A map showcasing how to get to the lot is pictured below.
