Parking has been a major topic of discussion in Tucker, particularly with the ongoing growth on Main Street and the increasing number of events. In response, the City’s Mayor and Council took a significant step towards addressing this issue by approving a novel plan.

The plan focuses on expanding public parking options through an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Public Facilities Board (PFA). This agreement allows the PFA to enter into a contract with Main Street Church (formerly Tucker First Baptist Church). The contract grants the City access to 101 shared parking spaces for a 5 ½ year term, with limited hours on 290 days of the year.

The City will take responsibility for paving, pothole repair, restriping, signage, and updating an interactive map of the designated shared parking spots (see below). These spots will be clearly marked with green striping to differentiate them from regular parking. Additionally, the City’s Public Works Department will handle ongoing maintenance of the lots.

Hours:
Monday through Saturday – 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Sundays – reserved for church use only

Closure for special events will be posted onsite.

This innovative approach demonstrates the City’s commitment to finding creative solutions for the growing needs of the community. By collaborating with local organizations like Main Street Church, the City is working to ensure a vibrant and accessible downtown for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
