City of Mobile Helps Businesses Impacted by Construction

Sep 15th, 2014

MOBILE, Ala. - Mayor Sandy Stimpson today announced that he is working with local downtown businesses to accommodate their customers' parking options near construction on Royal Street.

In coordination with SP+ Parking and the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel, the City of Mobile has requested a parking validation process be created to provide some parking relief to the impacted businesses within the immediate vicinity of Royal and Dauphin Streets. Impacted businesses will be contacted by a representative from the Mayor's Office to provide details on the temporary parking validation process.

Temporary parking privileges will be granted at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel parking garage located at 64 S. Water Street beginning on Tuesday, September 16, until December 1. Impacted businesses will be given a free parking coupon to extend to their patrons to cover a two hour parking validation on Monday through Friday.

"Infrastructure improvements are a vital part of growing our city," said Mayor Stimpson. "Growth and development can cause a temporary inconvenience for citizens. I want to minimize the inconvenience as much as possible. It's important that our businesses are supported as we work towards improving our city's infrastructure. We're continuing to move towards becoming a safer, more-business and family-friendly city and I am committed to finding ways to improve the quality of life for all of our citizens."

Businesses interested in taking advantage of the program may contact Shayla Beaco in the Mayor's office at 251-208-7807 or by email at Shayla.Beaco@CityofMobile.org.
