Trenton – When visiting downtown Trenton on the weekends this holiday season, visitors will find that fees at two parking garages will be waived.
The Trenton Parking Authority will eliminate weekend parking fees from December 16 through January 16 at the Liberty Commons garage, located at 16 East Front Street and at the Trenton Marriott at Lafayette Yard garage, located at 1 West Lafayette Street. The waiver period will begin 5:00 p.m. on Fridays and end 6:00 a.m. Mondays.
“This temporary change is designed to promote access to downtown attractions and businesses during the busy holiday season,” said Grace Hanlon, executive director of the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism. “The state of New Jersey continues to be as proactive as possible in helping businesses whenever possible, especially during these tough economic times.”
