Construction for Hillman Garage is a GO!

We’ve done the studies, completed the design, and prepped the alternative transit plans. May 2nd, 2022 marked the first day in our exciting process to build a better Hillman Garage. Fitting within the current footprint the base design for the garage includes multiple benefits to the City and the community. Parking is not an end in and of itself; but we want to make sure when you need to park here it’s convenient, safe, and effortless. Key improvements are to include:

Modern Stormwater Management Systems

• New Oil/Grease Water-Separator
• No additional or significant flow increases to the existing sanitary system
• New landscaping and tree pits along Gorman St. and Behind City Hall

Improved Circulation Pathways

• Improved turning radius at all entry and exits
• Sidewalks widened to meet ADA standards (5-feet wide)
• Pedestrian pathways around the entire garage
• Two ADA Accessible Elevators
• Two-way traffic flow drive aisle

Other Features

• GLIDEParcs system gateless parking (ticketless pay stations/mobile app parking)
• 588 Parking Spaces (includes 10 electric vehicle-charging stations)
• Solar Panel Shade Structure
• Bike Racks
• LED Lighting throughout
• Restrooms for Garage Users (unlocked via parking app)
• Maintaining Historical Height Limits

Remember Downtown is open for business. Even while we take the time to give Downtown Annapolis the parking garage it deserves, we still have over 3000+ parking spaces available throughout Downtown, Eastport, and at the Navy Stadium. All with shuttle services provided by either Annapolis Go (ride-sharing app), the Magenta Shuttle Bus, or the Electric Tram.

We look forward to the future and learning new ways to commute to, traverse through, and enjoy Downtown.
