New web site designed to help downtown parking

The City of Wichita and Wichita Downtown Development Corporation have partnered to launch a new web site that helps answer an often asked downtown question - where to park or ?2P (see below).

The new website – www.parkdowntown.org – includes interactive maps and provides information on parking options for downtown events. Pricing, location and availability are some of the many features included in the map. It will also provide route information for the popular Q-Line trolleys.

In addition to being able to find specific parking lots and pricing, the interactive map gives web users the ability to find restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues that enhance your downtown visit and experience.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for people to have information on where they can park right at their fingertips,” says Mandy Pankratz, parking and mobility coordinator for the City of Wichita.  “Our goal is to ensure that people know their options on where to park before they come downtown.”

Parking options are divided up by events, which can be easily found under the event tab. Web users also have the ability to download a version of the map to print off and keep in the car.

“We’re very excited to partner with the City of Wichita on this initiative,” says Wichita Downtown Development Corporation President Jeff Fluhr. “This map provides the opportunity to explore all the options downtown has to offer. One can make plans prior to event to shop and eat, or stay after an event to enjoy one of the numerous entertainment venues.”

The interactive map is part of the Downtown Parking and Mobility plan, commissioned by SMG and the City of Wichita. The map can also be accessed by going to the City of Wichita website – www.wichita.gov.
